I really do want to just be able to sit in the corner of the pub with my friends... to just be an actor and still go to the supermarket and not get bothered.

Ring tones are just irritating, aren't they?

One of the things that makes this so topical right now is that I think there are an awful lot of American men - and women, but I'm a man, so that's what I can talk about - who feel the American dream has let them down.

One of the things that I discovered in my research is that some serial killers build an ultimate reality around themselves that they believe in, 100%.

I couldn't do the same job for 30 years. That would make me want to kill myself. Other people do it and they're very happy doing it, but for me, that's not what I want. I like changing things, all the time.

I like television that grabs you by your throat.

You need to be disciplined and you need to try to occupy a zone of acting that is always quite scary because you don't think you're doing anything.
