I Love To Sit And Watch People.

England Is Obsessed With Where You Came From, And They Are Determined To Keep You In That Place, Be It In A Drawing Room Or In The Gutter.

When I Do Work, I Feel The Same Sort Of Urgency As I Ever Did. If I Didn't Feel That, I Don't Think I Would Wish To Be Doing It. I Wouldn't Really See The Point.

I Don't Torture Myself. And I Do The Work Because Of The Pleasure Involved. I'm Satisfying A Compulsion I Find Nigh-on Irresistible. It's Not Necessarily Because Of The Work Itself. I Just Feel The Need For A Period Of Regeneration Afterwards. Like Leaving A Field Fallow When You've Grazed Too Much On It. I Feel Depleted.

I'm A Warrior When It Comes To Pursuing Roles.

Being At The Centre Of A Film Is A Burden One Takes On With Innocence The First Time. Thereafter, You Take It On With Trepidation.
