That to me is what my idea of film acting should be. There shouldn't be any acting. You should just be watching a real person.

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

In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.

Books were my window on the world. Growing up at the Elephant and Castle, which was very rough, my paradise was the library.

As an actor, I'll play anything.

As an actor, my attitude towards using of film versus digital is, if you have film, filmmakers have to cut eventually so you don't have to learn all that dialogue. With digital, they can just go on forever and it's a nightmare. So, I like film - nice short takes.

Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
