I don't carry lucky charms, but I believe in those things.

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

My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.

As an actor you become that lighting rod between the person who made the play and the audience.

I play a lot of, maybe a little bit, cartoonish people. I've been a Bond villain, and I play a lot of villains, people who want to take over something.

You hear about things happening to people - they slip in the bathtub, fall down the stairs, step off the curb in London because they think that the cars come the other way - and they die. You feel you want to die making an effort at something; you don't want to die in some unnecessary way.

I've never made a movie I wasn't surprised to see.
