The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

I don't think there's an improvised word in the movie. I hope not because I admire writing. Improvising is kind of gambling. It's just that you're standing up.
jobs play done
Somebody asked me recently, 'Have you done a lot of plays?' I thought hang on. I used to do nothing but plays. I've been very fortunate that on several occasions I've had jobs where I didn't want to be anywhere else in the world whatever you had to offer - however much money you've got.

When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.
jobs gambling sick
All actors who have been around for a long time, which I have, and have been skint for long periods, which I have, find it difficult to turn down jobs. If I turn anything down my stomach turns over. I feel sick. It feels like gambling.
cute long watches
I don't normally watch films I'm in because I'm squeamish about that and it takes me quite a long time to recover and I have to go to work. I'm not being coy or cute, but it's just true.

One of the reasons I like a suit is because I've never been that keen on my body. The shape a suit presents is always going to be better than anything I can do.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.
