You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie.

I think that Phil Kaufman is one of the best directors that I have come across.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.

The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.

I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.

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.
