I'm not the kind of actor that gets crazy with [directors'] names, what draws me toward a project is the material itself.

I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.

The earliest memories I have from my childhood are of my mum getting ready to go on stage. I must have been about five and I would watch her vomiting backstage on opening night, and then the next minute she became Isabella, the Queen of Spain. At the time I remember thinking, 'What kind of schizophrenic job is this?' Now it all makes sense.

Sometimes I say to myself, what are you doing in this absurd job? Why don't you go to Africa and help people? But I cannot help people, because I am a hypochondriac.

When you're working with the best, it helps you to be good because then you are focusing on what you have to do.

Many people out there don't have a choice, in choosing their friends and the people they're being manipulated by.

When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.
