At home, I hardly ever leave London. I don't like the countryside in England.

I don't have any particular burning desire to go back to being cuddly. Not really.

Japanese women have always loved my films, even when no one else did. Ever since I made 'Maurice' in the 1980s, I've been getting hundreds of letter from Japanese girls. They definitely have a special place in my heart.

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

When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.

I've always enjoyed sex scenes, though you're not really supposed to. The classic answer is, 'Oh, it's not sexy at all because there are so many technicians standing around.' But I've always found them extremely arousing.

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.
