If you held a pistol at my head, I couldn't tell you who they're going to vote for Best Actor.

I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.

It’s a lesson in life—don’t look back, you’ll trip over.

I spent my entire time reading books and going to the cinema, just to escape.

I've been acting a long time, and I can play a Cockney gangster or a womanizer in my sleep or standing on my head. But what I try to do is I try to find characters that are as far away from me as I possibly can and then make them real. A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.

I just work in order to improve myself as an actor which is what I've always done.

I'd never been in one of those great big blockbusters.
