When you were on stage, you could be absolutely open about your emotions and indulge them and express yourself in a way that - in real life - I wasn't doing.

I think if I were asked to do as many as fifty takes, I would assume the director had no idea what he wanted, and was just hoping, eventually, to see it.

I think I'm a bit gruffer than I used to be, and I'm certainly older.

My acting stopped being about disguise and became about truth which suits the camera, so my film career took off when I came out.

It is so painful watching yourself act, particularly because you can't do anything about it, it's all done and dusted.

My reaction to 3D is subtly. Things don't come out at you, but rather you - The audience come into the film.

That's the imagination that happens in the theater. That imagination is translated in film by the film magicians and all the technology.
