I've made the transition from star to character actor and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

My father was a fish market porter. So I grew up on fish, because he used to steal one a day, I grew up on the very best fish that money could buy, 'cause he only stole the good stuff.

If you're a leading actor you don't work with another actor. You work with a lady.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I'm Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim.

The old guys like me started in the theatre. I was in the theatre for nine years.

...some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
