I like fishing, I like painting; I like painting fish.

As far as I'm concerned, the sexiness, the sex symbol, it's not a consideration.

There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain.

It's a Tim sandwich. The meat is fresh, but the bread is moldy.

Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's, it's, I don't know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it's not.

hen Baillie [Walsh, writer and director] wrote the movie for me I wasn't doing what I'm doing today, so when we actually came to make the movie it seemed silly to change it. But who knows? That's the way things go. What was interesting for me - and what was always interesting in the script - was that you've got someone who appears to have everything, or at least has the opportunity to have everything, and he's f**ked it up, or lost it.

Being on your own would be sad, sick and weird. I don't trust myself. I need that balance.
