I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.

As an actor, you're trained to do the right thing, be politically correct, say your lines, say the right thing about the people you're working with...

The English are good at bad guys - the James Bond-style villain, cunning, slow-burning. The Americans are much more obvious about it.

Apparently, Daniel Craig said I'd be a great Bond. Daniel, why did you say that? Dropped me right in it! What an honor it would be, but also, what an indication of change.

Every single film I've done, it's about the character.

I'm never shaken or stirred.

Even when I went to America I didn't work for four years. It wasn't like I came to New York and it was the land of milk and honey. It was just as much of a hard graft. But there's a lot more opportunity nowadays across the board for actors, no matter what color you are, with the Internet and small productions.
