George [Clooney] and I do have the aim one day to be in a film where we say one nice thing to each other. Hopefully one day.

[My work] just develops and develops, and I'm very nicely served by the universe: just as I'm ready to take the conversation further with myself, some other individual pops up, like David McKenzie did, with this idea of making this film [Teknolust], and provides exactly the leap to the next adventure.

I'm interested in that whole question of where we wear our identity and how can we see it.

I think that film festivals, we're very often given to understand, are about filmmakers and about films and about the industry of filmmaking. I don't believe that they are, I believe that film festivals are about film audiences, and about giving an audience the encouragement to feel really empowered and to stretch the elastic of their taste.

When I'm in northern Italy, I walk about feeling slightly less of a freak.

I always think of the word 'abandonment' when I think of the character.

It was just me, naked as underneath my clothes right now, as all of you are.
