When I tested for Billy Budd, I had that kind of confidence that comes with the certainty that you're not going to get something. I was very rough around the edges.

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

I'm still tap dancing. I'm still going.

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

My favorite film is Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power in The Razor's Edge.

I work primarily for the camera-it's not something I really talk about a lot, but it's part of the way I am as a movie actor. The camera is my girl, as it were.

In my youth I dreamed of being an illustrator.
