I'm really into my photography and am trying to catch up with digital generation - I was used to the old 35mm cameras.

So, if I ever played Napoleon it would be with an Italian accent. He was an outsider, which also interests me.

In The Godfather, for instance, they say they won't deal drugs because they have a code of behaviour. He is the last remnants of that. So playing someone like that, who is also in pain with his kidney stone, means you're beginning to find a dimension of the guy who is king and all show and the private guy who is in pain.

Deep inside, I am desperate to do comedy.

I think we have reached a level in society - with Helen Mirren playing The Queen - when we're not surprised any more. We don't mention names. Yes, it's obvious by inference. But we don't mention names and the film is not up to point fingers at Royalty.

I'm never bored, never ever bored. If I've got a day off I'll sit in a cafe and watch and observe. I'm a great observer.

Although I'm a very emotional man, I just can't have blind faith, I have to find out for myself.
