I'm not a conventional leading man at all and have no wish to be.

I've never modeled myself on anybody, but there are a lot of people whose work I really admire and attitudes I certainly subscribe to.

But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?

Even smiling makes my face ache.

I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.

I moved to L.A. because that's where they point cameras at you. And that's what I'd like them to do.

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.

Has anybody seen my tambourine?

I like risky parts - abrasive characters the audience won't necessarily like.
