One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.

I'm probably the only person who actually remembers pirate radio.

If you are supposed to be villainous and have some sort of agenda, I like the idea of delivering that kind of character in a perfectly well-mannered way.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.

With stage, you feel completely like you're just in a bubble. I love not being able to see anything. I love coming out and I can't see anything because the lights are so bright and it's pitch black. That's ideal for me, that's when I have the best time.

I think in the old days, everybody used to act really quickly because Hollywood was built by theatre people.
