I'm crap at pretending to be something I'm not when I'm in my real life.

What you aim for, as an actor, is to be able to play a range of different roles.

I think the environment is possibly our most worrying thing at the moment, so I think mountaintops are the place to live.

You can argue about globalization and the many benefits it has had, but also you have to appeal to the mass with everything. The Chinese, the Americans, the Russians... Everything becomes this very bland product, and that's all we're producing at the moment. It's driven by money.

I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.

Hollywood is no longer the top. I love going to the cinema. I've always adored the idea of being in great, epic films. But they just don't really exist anymore. It's a real shame. There's great auteurs that create small movies, but it's really hard for anyone to see them, and for them to make any sort of money, or for them even to be made in the first place.
