On my last day of shooting, I'd be happy to say 'Cut, it's a wrap' and fall off the twig.

I am passionately opposed to capital punishment, and I have been all my life.

I passionately believe in heroes, but I think the world has changed its criteria in determining who it describes as a hero.

And there are certain things, and they are evident, obviously, without being boring about it, but I mean obviously, the two evident and easy ones being Gandhi and Cry Freedom, there are things which I do care about very much and which I would like to stand up and be counted.

I can't write, I can't paint, I don't compose.

I think it is obscene that we should believe that we are entitled to end somebody's life, no matter what that person has supposedly done or not done.

I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.
