Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way.

Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.

I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.

I have boxes full of stuff. Most actors do have a trunk full of stuff, paintings or scripts. It never comes to anything.

I certainly have never been an actor who can play the Everyman guy - or, I don't tend to get those parts. I've tended to play eccentrics. I've played a lot of villains, of course.

Guns make me very nervous. They're dangerous. I'm more of a pacifist than anyone could imagine.

Sometimes a certain innocence is good, but not about yourself.
