I love animals. I love being around them.

If you pay a little bit of attention to something, and then let it go, and then come back to it, and then pay a little bit of attention to something, that's nice and healthy.

Human beings have a bunch of different dimensions, so even if you're playing someone who you think maybe the audience might not like, might not be going for, you still have to give them the dimensions to make them a real human, otherwise there's no point.

I think if you've held onto a character for several years and then you're getting rid of that character, it's going to be traumatic.

If I had a choice as to my perfect career, I would make a couple of films a year and then concentrate on natural history.

All those animals that were in the cages, I would spend a lot of time in those cages with the animals in-between shots, just hanging out, because I prefer animals to humans. If I get an opportunity to be with them, I'll usually take it.

Bureaucratic nonsense at airports drives me crazy.
