My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.

Look, how many stories have I broken? Hundreds. How many have proved to be untrue? There isn't one.

There is no defence for my actions which I sincerely regret. [on an affair with nanny Daisy Wright]

The other nice thing about the robes is that they keep you cool in the summer, and we were filming sometimes in Rome, where it was sometimes over 100 degrees.

Face it, I didn't become famous until I took my clothes off.

There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good.

I've never been a fan of just doing. I like to do things for a reason.
