There's so much crap talked about acting.

I've met quite a number of people in my career, but I do have an extraordinary memory. And even though they may drift into the periphery of my memory, I can bring them right back when I need them.

I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It's a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen.

Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.

Hamlet is an astonishing intelligence.

I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.

There is always something about the villains that I'm able to play, quote unquote, that isn't villainous.
