Hotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.

I never think of myself as a celebrity - or even an actor, actually. I think of myself as a writer-director.

I don't think humans are meant to be looked at when we're buying pants.

People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: "you're not fooling anyone", they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know.

With 'The Office' and 'Extras' I've always snuck in a little bit of heart and pathos - and drama, which is fun.

To complain about critics in a business is like a sailor complaining about the waves. Go back to the beach if you don't like it.

I've never been insulted by hateful satanists for not believing in their devil. Only by loving Christians for not believing in their God.
