All my good friends are actors, really. It's different when you have a family, but they're still the people I meet most often. My best friend is Ian Hart, but then I've known him since I was five.

I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

I love getting stuff, and if I give a present to someone and don't get one back, you can bet your life they won't be getting one next year.

I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I'd really like to get on a Greyhound bus and go backpacking across America.

You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don't want them to identify with you as a person.

My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.
