When you come to actually act, it's a game. It may be a very serious game, but it's still a game. If you lose that sense of play, the work suffers.

What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.

I remember someone said to me, Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep. Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

Getting older is a struggle. I always feel that just under the surface of acceptance and enjoyment of the ageing process is a terrible hysteria just waiting to burst out.

I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.

We see death constantly on film.

'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being the difference between sanity and insanity the meaning of life and death what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.

You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.
