It's such a performance to bring stuff into America. It's a great luxury when I am in England.

I have always had this energy, which I think of as overdrive.

Unless I try, I'm never really going to be at ease with myself.

As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.

I have to be stretched in some way. There's not enough things that come my way that I fancy.

Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you, he lived them.

I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.
