kids possibility monogamy
Monogamy is a possibility - and a necessity. Kids have got to have something they can rely on. You have got to have something you rely on.

I'm a feminist, yes! Very strongly.
I'd say I am partial to women.
faces rich handy
I am fairly rich. Money's very handy, let's face it.
expression careers interesting
I started my career by becoming a stalker, watching women in the street, the way they greet each other. I thought if I could capture some of that expression, that depth of emotion, it will make me interesting to watch as an actor.
kids two easy
It's not easy to walk out on a marriage and two young kids, and it's the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.
i-love-you simple men
One of the things I've realised is that I am very simple. My wife asked me once if I loved her. I said: 'Look love, I'm a simple man. I love you. End of story.' But I guess you gotta keep saying it with women. I guess she needed reassurance.

If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.

jobs home best-job
Acting is the best job in the world. Look at the way they treat you when you turn up for work. They give you breakfast and a cup of tea and ask, 'Are you all right' They tart up your face, you say somebody else's words, then pick up your check and go home. And you get days off. I tell you, it really is the way to live.

was the most peaceful place on earth. There is something quite extraordinary about the theatre. On some nights - very rarely, and some people have never experienced it - actors say 'Pan's in.' Whatever anybody does, it works. Pan is sitting on your shoulders. He's with you. I had it a couple of times on Guys and Dolls. You just knew it was the business.

blames couple crown everybody fly great load nobody paid treats turns
When you get to my age, what you want is the cameo. You get paid a lot of money. You fly in for a couple of weeks. Everybody treats you like the crown jewels. It's all great and if the film turns out to be a load of s - -, nobody blames you.
