How do you play Hannibal Lector? Well just don't move. Scare people by being still.

I don't like mushiness. I'm a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don't like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I'm getting older, I'm getting much more open about all that.

I know how to be strong. I know how to be ruthless. It's part of my nature. I wouldn't be an actor if I wasn't.

The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.

I think all those actors from that generation, like Bogart - they were wonderful actors. They didn't act. They just came on and they did it, and the characters were wonderful.

I'm composing and writing music.

I was called 'Dumbo,' like the elephant, as a child because I couldn't understand things at school.
