I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.

Why not sit around a Beverly Hills pool collecting residual cheques? That is not the kind of life I want.

The control is shifting because of the democratisation of the internet. My industry is very good at building walls to stop people getting in.

There are ways in which you can make sure that even if people come to the theatre because they know an actor or actress, by the end, theyve forgotten that, and they leave going, Wow - what an amazing play.

I can't judge the characters I play, because it's for the audience to do. What I can try to do is to understand and embody what were they going through? How did they make the decisions they made? That to me is a more interesting way to approach something, rather than saying this person is a villain and that person is this and - because it's not very interesting to play that anyway.

The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won't admit he played badly.

I guess Ive been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.
