If I am a cup maker, I'm interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!

I love research and being educated. It's a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people's shoes.

I got on my knees and sort of communicated with the spirits. When I came out, I was in charge. I couldn't have acted that, I couldn't have written that.

Writing is a weapon and it’s more powerful than a fist could ever be.

I read the Bible every day.
