I always think that, even when people behave badly, if you like something deep inside them, then there is a tiny bit of nobility - they wish they could be good.

I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare. When I was at school, I was in Hamlet. I played Claudius, who's supposed to be a 60-year-old man, and I was like 18. It's inherently ridiculous seeing 18-year-old boys with gray beards. That's always funny.

I always find it easier to portray myself as being unlikeable and idiotic; to actually play a character that is likeable and engages the audience is far more difficult. It's a more subtle kind of challenge.

I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.

In my mind God made Adam and Eve, he didn't make Adam and Steve.

I'm just a good Catholic boy - I do naughty things and feel guilty about them.
