I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman.

I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right?

I can't do anything else. So if this falls through, I'm screwed.

There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.

The more varied the characters, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

A good part of why I never went back to England was part of that, I didn't want to be in those sort of flowery films. But I think it's a nice change of pace-I don't know how long it'll go for. There will always be the Merchant-Ivory/Kenneth Branagh movies, but there's something else now-really, it's always been there but the Americans getting to see it makes all the difference.

Now, people can watch the entire first series over a period that would probably take you a couple of nights.
