I'm a feminist, yes! Very strongly.

I'm very romantic. I've emptied flower shops.

I'm Winnie the Pooh - that's as sexy as I am. I meet ladies and they talk about their family and I talk about my family. It's about as sexy as a bag of Brussel sprouts.

If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.

I'd say I am partial to women.

What would I have done if I wasn't an actor? Probably rob banks.

It's not easy to walk out on a marriage and two young kids, and it's the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.

Acting is the best job in the world. Look at the way they treat you when you turn up for work. They give you breakfast and a cup of tea and ask, 'Are you all right' They tart up your face, you say somebody else's words, then pick up your check and go home. And you get days off. I tell you, it really is the way to live.

Before Michael Caine you had to have been in the RAF to be an actor.

I started my career by becoming a stalker, watching women in the street, the way they greet each other. I thought if I could capture some of that expression, that depth of emotion, it will make me interesting to watch as an actor.

It's your life, live it your way.

I am fairly rich. Money's very handy, let's face it.

What we do does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling

I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We cant express ourselves emotionally, we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.

You have to learn to hallucinate.
