I do a job and am lucky enough to do a job that I love, but it is a hard one. I'm not saying it is as hard as working in a coal mine, but it is still difficult in a different way. Sometimes you have to go through very strong emotional journeys and then come back to yourself. And that can be difficult to control.

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

I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.

There is no good side to celebrity.

The good thing about being an actor, and the gift of being an actor, is that you are beautifully forced to see the world with different eyes.

But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn't a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected.

But don't call me an actor. I'm just a worker. I am an entertainer. Don't say that what I am doing is art.
