My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son's perspective.

My favourite things are just wandering from place to place, going to cafés, taking photographs. My favourite day is a happy accident.

People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.

Ive gone through long periods without being with someone and got a bit lonely, but not for a while.

I think the only thing I've got going for me as an actor specifically is the fact that I can change.

Im hoping that a lifetime of compromise and disappointment will read as extra depth and layers in my work.

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.
