How would you compare Polanski or Kubrick? I try not to do any comparisons.

I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back.

Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.

A character I would love to play is Iago, from Othello.

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 started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.

The first role I ever did... I played a Nazi skinhead.
