I just love to go home, no matter where I am, the most luxurious hotel suite in the world, I love to go home.

Nobody's a criminal to himself. I never play a criminal like a bad person.

I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot; people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.

A man's body may grow old, but inside his spirit can still be as young and as restless as ever.

Alfie was the first time I was above the title; the first time I became a star in America.

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 think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.
