I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.

I started as a director and just fell upon acting.

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.

I love playing bad. But my whole thing is usually villains that don't know that they're evil.

You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we're all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you're doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding.

The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.
