One of the things I've realised is that I am very simple. My wife asked me once if I loved her. I said: 'Look love, I'm a simple man. I love you. End of story.' But I guess you gotta keep saying it with women. I guess she needed reassurance.

What would I have done if I wasn't an actor? Probably rob banks.

I've watched films and even forgotten I'm in them.

I'm a feminist, yes! Very strongly.

I'd say I am partial to women.

I'm very romantic. I've emptied flower shops.

I've played so many historical characters because most horrible dictators are short, fat, middle-aged men.
