God knows, I haven't always been successful.

I'm not keen on history being tampered with... to any extent.

As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'

I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.

If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw and my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake... I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!

My curiosity sustains me for the period of the shoot.

I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.
