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.

I used to be a good party boy. I'm old. I'm an old man. You pay the consequences. I'm just fine with a couple of drinks, no more than that.

Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time.

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.

My first part was in a film where I played a sadomasochist who killed people and created fun orgies. I'm a method actor. I went to every orgy in the world.

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.
