I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.

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.

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

I'd like to wake up and look like Brad Pitt in the morning, but I don't. I look in the mirror, and I see me.

I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.

I wouldn't use the word 'scared' for my role as Hitchcock, but it was my most insecure. Taking on such a formidable, giant personality such as Hitchcock; he was one of the great geniuses of world cinema. Sheer genius.

I was bullied as a boy - lots of kids are, but hopefully most of us get on with our lives and grow up.
