Actor

If I'm going to appear in front of people I like to look my best.

I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.

When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.

One of my great regrets, and I don't have many, is that I spent too long putting people's status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities. I learned far too late in life that a long list of letters after someone's name is no guarantee of compassion, kindness, humour, all the far more relevant stuff.

I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting.

I'm one of those weird people who doesn't even own a computer.

It's probably healthier to find fame later in life.

I don't even own a car.

I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.

When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.

The way the elderly are treated, and in some cases warehoused and medicated, rather than nurtured and listened to, is distressing.

I hardly even leave my own house.

You can ruin your life wanting to be an actor.

I don't spend a lot of time with anybody.

When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.

I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again.

I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.

I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

You get older and you see yourself and say, 'God, he's old, who's that?'
