I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'

I'm doing the next Batman. I have to become obsessed about what is offered to me.

The standing ovation threw me. ... To be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.

In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn't know anyone unknown who didn't become famous.

I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.

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.
