Comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write.

I've never been out with a married woman, never. I respect others' properties.

A lot of my best parts I've been the second choice for, so you never get too egotistical about anything.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

If you go away on location for three months and your wife stays at home, you've made a whole new load of friends and she's made a whole new load of friends and you get home and you're kind of strangers.

I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.

Obsession is a young man’s game.
