I've done a lot of period stuff but that's mostly because, in England, we get off on a lot of period stuff, but it's not any kind of particular choice. That's where a lot of the work is.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

I don't accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don't like what it's become. I don't blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It's got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.

I find there aren't that many options as an actor.

I don't think kids should have role models. They're disastrous.

I dont want to just play gay characters, ... I think it would get boring to play the same thing again and again and again.

I don't think I've ever tried to change anyone. I don't have the energy.
