I spent my entire time reading books and going to the cinema, just to escape.

You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.

About Superman and Batman: the former is how America views itself, the latter, darker character is how the rest of the world views 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.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

Youre only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.
