And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it's not you going through it.

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

When I was a young guy, I knew everything. Now I know very little. I know less and less as the time goes on.

Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.

We have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fingers active.

I've always liked American actors particularly. Because that was my first impression. I was very enamoured of America when I was a kid because we were surrounded by American soldiers during the war, the accent was very strange to me, it was very exotic and very captivating.

I don't know what acting is, but I enjoy it.
