For me, it's important to keep a level of anonymity.

I reckon domesticated cats have a pretty good life.

Keats himself spoke about how Shakespeare was capable of erasing himself completely from the characters he had created. As an actor, that is what I'm trying to do.

I don't have any ambition to make lots of money or win an Oscar or anything like that. It's not about that for me.

In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there's so much that's against you on a film set.

My favorite Bond films are the really early ones, the first ones in fact, like 'Dr. No' and 'From Russia with Love.'

I wish that the arts were better supported, and you can't say that enough times, but I also believe that whatever happens, artists will keep going.
