I was brought up by my mother and my two sisters, although they're older than me and fled the nest very young, so I was technically raised as an only child, but I was very much loved.

'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad.

I went and lived in Chicago for a year , and I studied at the police academy.

I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.

But you see, I have played more good guys than I have played villains.

It's always hard when you're playing someone for a lot of people out there who are going to see the movie after reading the books. There's a communion between a reader and the writer, so people will have an idea who Sirius Black is and I might not be everyone's idea of that.

At 23 it was all about acting. Today it's getting my kids to school, making sure that they've done their homework. I'm in my fifties, and I'm turning into a square.
