I can never be the hero now. You have to be young and all that stuff. I used to be the hero.

I don't want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you've ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing.

About Superman and Batman: the former is how America views itself, the latter, darker character is how the rest of the world views America.

I need a challenge 'cause I don't get the girl anymore.

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying ....not waiting to deliver your lines.

In England, I was a Cockney actor. In America, I was an actor.

I regard myself as someone who is retired but who occasionally goes out to work. In fact, I'm offered so much good stuff that it's not so occasional.
