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

I'll tell you, Quentin Tarantino really writes the most amazing dialogue.

Acting has to do with saying it as if you meant it, so for me the words are always very important. It's very important for me to know my lines, know them so well that I don't have to think about them.

In England, and all over Europe, and all over the world, actors act until they die. They get old, really old, and they're still working. They just keep doing it.

I play so many villains and strange, troubled people. I don't have that kind of life. I live in the country. I've been married nearly 50 years. I have a cat.

Obvious things like The Deer Hunter. After that happened, the scripts got better. Opportunities happened.

To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
