A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.

I think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.

I always want my options to be open.

I'm sort of one of those weird actors who whenever I do a play, I think, "Oh, we should film this." As opposed to have to belt it out of ourselves in a theater auditorium.

One of the views of the [actor's] job is that whatever age you are, there's a role that's about who you are and where you are. There are parts for that age that you can bring things to.

No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.

I go home to London in between jobs, and in London, my life has nothing to do with the business. It's a family life, hanging with friends.
