I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear.

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.

The British keep employing me, and that makes me like them. It also makes me think they're very intelligent.

Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.

I've seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they're talking about.

Usually I play people who just keep babbling on and on and on.

Poe had this curious kind of alchemical courage, where he took all the terrible things and terrors that happened in his life, all this shame and fear and pain, and turned them into great works of art. He was a complex, brilliant person who was just wired too tight.
