I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.

I had mice that I kept as pets when I was very young, and I've always liked the way they look. Even rats. I'm not scared of them.

I'm not an admirer of action movies. I just think, Oh my God, it must be so tiring.

I think anything that has to do with sexuality makes people very interested.

I think one of the few times I've been involved with real-life characters was the story of Marie Bonaparte. I think it's really difficult to become someone that really existed.

It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.

Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
