I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.

I like to have a good experience. That's all you have.

My real father was a portrait painter. I went to a lot of auctions as a kid and galleries.

I used to sit in school and dream about getting into films.

The things that you know intellectually when you're young become internalized as you get older. You realize all those clichés.

I do not envy the headache you will have when you awake. In the meantime, dream of large women.

There's a myth about actors saying, 'Oh no, that's not me on screen at all. I'm just acting.' OK, if I were to say to you that's not me, that's fine. And I would tell you that I don't behave like a villain everyday, and that's true, I don't. But to say there's absolutely none of me in there is ridiculous.
