I really enjoyed working with New Zealanders as crew members, as teammates. They're great, and it's a beautiful country. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and I've traveled quite a bit.

If there's one thing I've learned from traveling, it's that it is definitely more important how you are than where you are. You can say, 'Oh, I hate X city, I hate that country, or I prefer this city,' but it's a little bit up to you to find some kind of happiness.

The Road was a movie that has a good reputation, even though it wasn't released very well, but that's a movie I'm very proud of.

People will like to say that 'Eastern Promises' is brutal, but the only reason they say that is because the scenes stick with them. They are realistic. They are in-your-face and you see the consequences. It's not a bunch of quick editing cuts.

There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.

When I land in a country and they ask for 'occupation,' I always just put 'artist.' I think that covers all of it.

Saying you are a patriot does not make you one wearing a flag pin does not in itself mean anything at all.

We often live in the past a lot more than we probably realize.

The best thing an actor can be is flexible, because all directors are different and all actors are different.

Pinochet and Barack Obama both have the same primary goal, and that's to be president and stay president as long as allowed.

I hate divers, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who might be the greatest athlete in the sport, but he's a big baby. If things are going well he's great, but when things are going badly it's the ref's fault, it's his teammates' fault.

Usually the characters I play are men of few words, who communicate in non-verbal ways.

I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.

What art does is it makes you feel alive and makes you feel like you're connected.

Ignorance breeds antipathy. Until I got to know how computers worked, I didn't want anything to do with them. I said, 'Well, why do I need them? I write letters.' Which I still do.

I was born in New York but as a baby moved to Venezuela and Argentina. I've also lived in Denmark, where my father's from. I've traveled a lot, and having that sort of background probably increased the chance that I was going to remain curious as an adult about people who are different.
