Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they’re clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bullshitting you.

I enjoy playing characters where the silence is loud.

I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.

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

I like these calm little moments before the storm, it reminds me of Beethoven

I still don't have a publicist. If I'm in a film, you have an obligation to promote it, I'll do as much as I can.

I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
