My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.

I could stay making nice safe BBC movies for the rest of my life, so I decided to risk it. It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.

I love the hour in makeup. It gives you time to think and have a cup of coffee. It's my favorite part of the day.

I have no illusions about my position in this world as an actor or anything like that. I'm very realistic. Reality is a very liberating thing.

Things have changed so much now. Everything is downloaded onto computers. I'm not a computer-savvy guy, but with downloading the movie industry has changed.

Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid.

I'm more and more convinced that life is a dream. What has happened to me is surely a dream.
