There is space in the supermarket shelf for all of us.

But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.

My dad used to have to open the second bottle of wine in the loo in case Mum heard the cork coming out.

The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor.

Most actors really love it, that's what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they'll read a script and think, that's an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is.

The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred, I mean a thousand, scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny.

I find it hard to understand why Scorsese has never called. You know, given the natural menace I bring to the screen.
