The first job I ever did in the theatre, I was supposed to be a genius piano player. I couldn't play the piano, but you just sit there at a piano like you're playing, and suddenly all this amazing music comes out and the audience believes you can do it. It's the same with computers. I love scenes where there are people yanking at monitors, "yes I'll put you through now," and you know they're just doing that. But you can look brilliant at all this technology. I love it.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

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

I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.

When you look at all the miracles attributed to Jesus, they're all about change.

You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.
