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

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

Quality is subjective. There are quality blockbusters; there are quality versions of every genre and it doesn't necessarily mean money.

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.

My career has suddenly started to be the one that I'd always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of - and this is what I've been banging on about - playing different parts in different media. I was very frustrated, in a physical sense, by people seeing me in a way that I wasn't. And I was beginning to find myself boxed into a corner. Hopefully things have loosed up a bit, and I've gotten better and become more relaxed as an actor.
