It's said that I went into a rant, but I think it went on for about five words. I was drunk. It just turned into a big thing. I apologized profusely - not once but three times. So what's the problem? It's four years ago. Do I need to apologize again?

Time helps a lot. I found the fame thing really was a torment for a while. Then you learn to deal with it.

There are messages about civilisations and we are trying to be true to history as much as possible. We wanted all this to gel with some good theory about why these civilisations went down, why they weakened and crumbled. Because they did, they vanished.

I do moderate exercise, and I try to eat pretty well, and I think it has an effect on me.

I'm Hitler and my dad is Mussolini!

I walked away from acting for eight years and tried to make the choice that I should have made when I was 21. But, it doesn't make any difference. Nothing changed. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

It's all happening too fast. I've got to put the brakes on or I'll smack into something.
