People often refer to my career before The Crying Game as something which led up to that point. But I was very fulfilled in what I was doing.

I don't know that I'm 'hangdog'. That suggests someone skulking around, unengaged. I'm not. I'm 'engaged', believe me. I have just got a slightly sad face.

I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

I'm enjoying it, but I still don't know why I'm hooked on acting.

I loved movies as a teenager and saw as much American cinema as I could, but I hated the English films of the early 60s and had absolutely no point of identification with them.

I've never been in a bad play. There might have been bad productions and I might have been bad in them, but I've never been in a play that wasn't interesting or worthwhile doing on some level.

I have never been to a brothel. I don't think I could go into one.
