I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

I've always been hopeless at everything when I was a kid. That's why I became an actor - 'cause I couldn't do anything else.

I've played a lot of parts. But I don't look at my feeling is that this is a job. It's given me a good living.

I don't have a vast longing for the stage.

I think the first British actor who really worked well in cinema was Albert Finney. He was a back-street Marlon Brando. He brought a great wittiness and power to the screen. The best actor we've had.

I'm not a health freak. I just work out every day.

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