The reason I live in America is because I mean literally every six or seven years I've done something in England. The last lead I had in an English film I did was 1998. So that's why I live here. It's because I get more work. I'll travel back for radio, you know what I mean. I've just got to consider myself to be living in the middle of the ocean, and that way I have a really nice career, if I'm prepared to do television, radio, theater, and film.

I've certainly said I don't want to do any more bad guys, then I sit and don't do anything for a while and then think, "Okay, one more."

If I was to say "I'll only do movies," then I'd struggle to find a varied career. My priority is an interesting career, that's why I keep a low rent, I don't go on big holidays, and I keep it very simple.

Ive always believed very, very strongly that the way you treat people is more important than anything, professionally or otherwise.

I no longer have a style to maintain. I rent a little flat in Los Angeles, I don't take holidays, I don't dine out and I take cheap flights.

Like someone once said, "If you're going to play the part, you better wear the eye patch." You need to perform the function, you know.

Id like an omelet named after me.
