We are fascinated by the darkness in ourselves, we are fascinated by the shadow, we are fascinated by the bogeyman.

I found a way into the acting business because I thought, well, it beats working for a living, and so that's what I do. But I still feel like a bit of a stranger in it all. I've never really belonged anywhere.

I am young! Being creative and keeping your brain occupied is very sensible because if you don't you die, slowly.

I don't push my luck. I don't worry about the results and therefore everything seems to work out well. That's something I've learnt over the years. The whole thing about the acting business is that it's a hit-or-miss game so I keep my distance from it.

I never cling on to hope or certainty. They're the enemies of peace.

I think one of the things you have to have is a respect for the camera, a real respect, and a real love for it, and to really, when I say take it seriously, quote 'seriously', I mean not patronize it. It's a big mistake to patronize it and think it's a third rate medium, because it's not, it's a great art form.

It's very difficult to liberate yourself from what you've learned. You know it's almost impossible because you learn in order to survive.
