The whole thing of working in collaboration with filmmakers is the thing that I love the most, and possibly the thing I do the best.

I'm just really old [in Doctor Strange]. Just really, really old. There is I suppose a sort of theme tune which I'm really interested in.

There's no need there to sit with the filmmaker for 11 years to develop the script, or go round the world raising money.

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

In my house, a hot dog is a dog that's really hot.

That whole Deep End experience of finding yourself with the dead body: you know you didn't kill it, but you know if you're found with it, you're gonna be done for it, so you have to get rid of it. And that's a really important nub of Young Adam — Joe knows for absolute certain that if someone comes around the corner, that's it. Nobody's ever going to believe what happened. So that has nothing to do with identity or sexuality, but that is a link. I'm just fascinated by it.

Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own.
