There's quite a lot of bad stuff written about me. My wife even says a lot of bad stuff about me. But she is wonderful.

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

I've always loved reprehensible people because they're so much more interesting to play on screen.

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.

I've done a lot of radio in my life. I've done radio plays for the BBC when I was young so I was absolutely used to that style of work, of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it's always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.

No English director would've cast me as an officer, I promise you. Not one.

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