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

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.

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.

Hollywood is my domestic idyll.

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.

People talk about me in Arcadia and I think I was okay in it but Ive given better performances in other productions that didnt have the same impact. But I knew Arcadia was going to be an event and I wanted to be part of it.
