If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.

I'm a late developer.

I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?

I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.

I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.

Movies make you immortal and ageless.

I never raise my voice!
