I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long!

Actors always talk about taking their work home and I always think: 'What are you on? You just turn it off. You are at work and then you go home.'

If I ruled the world, every woman would have a Chanel suit in her wardrobe.

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.

I have never owned a computer. I am one of those weirdos. I've never needed a computer. I'm lucky that I have a job where I'm not required to use one.

I did actually sit down with a blank sheet of paper once. I think the phone rang and that was the end of my literary career.

Often in America people would assume that [as an English actor] you've had some sort of deep, classical training, or that you're a Shakespeare enthusiast. I have zero interest in me performing Shakespeare.
