Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.

I think filmmaking should be a wonderfully free collaborative process, and it so very rarely is. I often see directors as jailers of my talent.

I'm still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent - you get contaminated after so long.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father, and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up sometimes.

The script is your map of the world, isn't it? And if someone knows that if it's well-written, you get all of the beats, it will tell you everything you need to know.

In the past, I’ve had my share of good reviews, but it’s always the crazy, scary, weirdo guy. I don’t even know how it happened. Look at me. I mean, when I’m naked, I look like a bald chicken. How did I get to be a scary bad guy?
