I come from the liberal side of thinking: Better one guilty man should walk free than one innocent man found guilty.

What you do is, you just do the gig, enjoy, get on with it, and treat the rest as horse doodle.

My dad was a football player - a soccer player - for Manchester United, and I loved playing football, but I also happened to be the guy in class who was pretty good at sight reading. My teacher gave me scripts, and I was very comfortable.

Every actor has to love and loathe the character he plays.

The bad boy: always more fun.

As long as the cheques carry on coming in, and I'm enjoying my work, I shall continue acting.

Theater is a dance of a different kind, a dance of rawness and characters stripped down.
