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

I don't spend a lot of time with anybody.

In life, if you have an enthusiasm for what they call 'good manners,' sometimes people don't quite believe you. I've had that once or twice before, where they assume you can't be for real.

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.'

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

When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.

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.
