When I made a breakthrough as an actor, people started to say, 'Who's that bloke with the funny name?' They advised me to change it, saying it would never be put up in lights outside theaters because they couldn't afford the electricity. But I would never contemplate changing it. It's who I am.

Whenever I get a good script, I don't care whether it's telly or theatre or big screen - I'm not bothered.

I exercise every morning without fail. One eyelid goes up and the other follows.

Truth is I thought it mattered. I thought that music mattered. But does it? Bollocks! Not compared to how people matter.

I couldn't imagine living my life with another name.

At the end of the day, acting is all about telling lies. We are professional imposters and the audience accept that. We've made this deal that we tell you a tale and a pack of lies, but there will be a truth in it. You may enjoy it, or it will disturb you.
