I do always like to do things I haven't done before, so I'm always looking out for things in a different genre, or a different sort of character.

I love a really good storyline.

An Oscar clears the deck of envy and resentment. You think, 'Well, I've got that. I can relax now.'

I regret behaving badly when I was younger. I did not know any better at the time. The thing is that the incidents that I caused were not funny... Youth is wasted on the young. It is better to have the wisdom of an old man in a young body... I was a bit foolish and teased people, trying to be funny.

Occasionally, I've been asked to do American roles, and once or twice I have, but I don't understand Americans. I don't have any real feeling for American culture.

I'm not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.
