I've done Graham Norton's show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn't make it past the censors in the States

Doing a film, or being sent scripts to look at a certain character, it's very odd for me. I tend to take it very personally.

I believe in fate. Sometimes that means an old bearded guy sitting on a cloud and pulling the strings; sometimes it means random atoms swirling through a cheerless universe; sometimes it means everything being preordained thanks to your karma credit from your previous lives.

My workout is my meditation.

I questioned everything. I didn't see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me

I can't help but feel that stuff that comes to me by chance or on purpose, whatever, tends to reflect where I am as a human being.

For the time it takes to make the film, you are treated like a cosseted pet. Then the process is over, and you're hung out to dry. It's like being a mink.
