Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.

Everyone deserves compassion.

I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.

I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.

I remember someone said to me, "Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep." Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

I think when you work on a Woody Allen film the actors become a real company, probably more than on any other film.

And so, in terms of setting the right tone and finding a way of presenting all of these things, that creates a cohesive whole and doesn't alienate the audience, is tough. That's a challenge. And I think the tone of a lot of shows is discovered through experimentation and actually making it. Eventually, it starts to cohere.
