More people saw me in 'Love Actually' than had seen me in everything else I had ever done up to that point.

I'm lucky that I get to play a wide variety of parts.

Anyone who can do the splits and come back up on the backbeat, as James Brown and Prince can, has my eternal respect. Prince, who is a genius of the highest order, can come back up while singing and playing the guitar.

When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.

I love playing half squid/half crab guy because you can get away with a level of acting that if you tried it anywhere else they'd arrest you for crimes against acting.

I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone.

I'm not a financial expert. The Robin Hood tax seems to me a very simple and beautiful idea. I don't see the problem.
