"Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary." — Tim Roth

If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in.

The more varied the characters, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I'm bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor - a real person.

Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.

I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.

Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.

I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman.

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
