Basically, every character I’ve ever played, I’ve based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it’s very human Picture Quote #1

Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be all worthy about it, but I don’t do red carpets, I don’t do events and I don’t accept freebies that much Picture Quote #1

Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That’s all it is. And yet we get treated as though we’re important Picture Quote #1

I considered becoming a priest very seriously. I wanted to travel the world. By the time I turned 16, I realized I was only in it for selfish reasons. And, more importantly, I didn’t want to sacrifice the ladies! Picture Quote #1

I’m probably more dangerous in a car than I am on a motorbike; on a bike I’m very mindful of the fact that if you make a mistake you’re dead Picture Quote #1

I’d like to keep work work and life life. It means you’ve got your life to come back to, somewhere to come home to at night that isn’t invaded by your day Picture Quote #1

I remember that it was never that difficult for me to get a director to look up and pay attention to me. Mind you, I don’t know if that’s necessarily charm. But I’ve played roles where my character has to be charming and I’ve found it quite easy to do. I think some of it is in my bones, but some of it is more deliberate Picture Quote #1

No movie has ever got enough time. It doesn’t matter how much money you’ve got, and it doesn’t matter how much money you’ve not got. You never finish on time. You’re always up against it and you’re always working up until the end Picture Quote #1

I think the most romantic thing you can do is just turn up. Turn up when its difficult for you. Travel halfway around the world or just up the road. Whatever it is, just be there Picture Quote #1

Playing somebody who’s obsessed. Playing somebody who is transgressing, and who is really crossing moral lines and ethical lines. That’s always interesting Picture Quote #1

The better the script is the more you can commit,but you can only really commit with full confidence when you know the material is as strong as your level of commitment to it and it frees you up Picture Quote #1

I think I’m losing my hair finally. And, yeah, that’s kind of all I know Picture Quote #1

The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you’re in control of your own fate. And you’re not, really Picture Quote #1

I play football once or twice a week. I eat pretty healthy. I’m in fairly good shape most of the time Picture Quote #1

We’re in a horrible, repugnant place now where kids are told it’s their right and due to be hugely famous. Not good at their job, not good at anything, just hugely famous. This is not sane. Little girls think they’ll be famous if they have vast breast implants and might as well die if they don’t Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen beautiful actresses get spat at or just someone trying to get a rise out of them so they can get an extra hundred bucks for a photo. It’s really rough Picture Quote #1

I try to keep my life low key, and I don’t like going to parties unless they’re thrown by a friend of mine, or they’re to do with a project I’m in, or it’s because I’ve been nominated for an award Picture Quote #1

I generally get challenged; I haven’t been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It’s not something that every actor gets, really. It’s luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren’t afforded the opportunity to express their variety Picture Quote #1

I did undergo hypnotherapy, and it didn’t work! The guy couldn’t put me under. I was very disappointed. I was very keen to be suggested, to have somebody tell me to run naked or cluck like a chicken or whatever, but it didn’t work for me, I’m afraid Picture Quote #1

Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It’s the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that’s the real reason that the relationships continue Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare’s stories are still very strong. He structured fantastic stories about things that were fundamental to the human being and psyche Picture Quote #1
