You are not just, "This is the way I play it every night." You are constantly finding new ways in, new attacks, "I want to try it this way. Maybe this scene is affecting that scene. I want to attack this scene differently."

The journey that we go on as actors is an interesting one and sometimes a revealing one.

Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.

The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.

If you have done well in whatever business you are in, it is your duty to send the elevator back down and try to help bring up the next generation of undiscovered talent.

I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.

I've done big studio films and the big studio films I've done, I've tried to do the interesting ones and the ones where I could live with myself in the morning.
