Somehow the past is a safe place to explore our collective cultural neuroses.

I think the early years, the first decade of your life, is the most formative in a way.

If you are at a boys' school, especially, there is a level of bravado that you have to keep up otherwise you'll get picked on.

I've always loved King Kong. He's like a modern-day myth, an icon of the cinema.

I feel so grateful to my mother and father for a happy childhood. There are things I now understand that they were able to give me that are very special.

It’s always about, somehow, finding a part of myself that is relevant, and then turning the volume up on that particular part. So, I am all of the characters I've ever played, and I am none of them at the same time.

I wonder what the world would be like if everybody walked their talk; if word was married with deed; promises delivered by action.
