If you get into the area of judging the character you're playing you're getting into a sticky area.

My stepfather was a producer. I'd always wanted to be in show business. And so when he came into my life and he told my brothers and myself, he said, look, if you want to be in this business, you're all going to have to start at the bottom.

When I work, I live in a fantasy world. It's great. I get to play different characters who inspire me.

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

I take away something from every role.

I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.
