When you see natural disasters caught on film you realize how well they had been imagined by Hollywood for such a long time. It's all good fun. You never know who's gonna survive and who doesn't.

You can't really do a lot of research for being a mass manipulating, murdering super-villain.

If you want to do your version, go off and write it. You bring your knowledge to it, and you can use that to shape it and color it, but it's someone else's version of that character. You're not actually playing the real person.

My father was a Catholic, but my mother wasn't. She had to do that weird deal you do as a Catholic - they deign to sanction your marriage and you have to bring your children up as Catholics.

I really wanted to get out of England.

I never lost an argument and my parents assumed I would be a lawyer. They cast me in that role.

I keep mementos from everything I've done.
