I've got German, Cornish and Scottish ancestry. It might help explain my affinity for forests, the sea, and fatty foods.
I try to travel as light as possible to avoid baggage issues. Los Angeles airport is notorious for baggage delays, so I'll often FedEx a suitcase ahead or back so I don't need to stand around; it also minimises problems at check-in.
For the time it takes to make the film, you are treated like a cosseted pet. Then the process is over, and you're hung out to dry. It's like being a mink.
I get very caught up with things. I used to be dominated by domestic things. I had a lovely house in LA-and it became this growing, mad obsession
As an actor, you're always in situations that can be compromising. But you can wipe away that gray area by making a choice.
I'd like to do more Shakespeare. I'd like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul
Helmut Lang does a lot of very military-influenced things. You have to find the designer that suits your body the best, and he works for me.
I already felt disengaged with my contemporaries.
I always liked the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I still want to be Indiana Jones.
I can move around the floor, but I don't know if I'd call that dancing!
I can't get a job, I can't get arrested.
I can't help but feel that stuff that comes to me by chance or on purpose, whatever, tends to reflect where I am as a human being.
I do hang on to things. I was so happy my father saved his army jacket. I grew up wearing that all through high school.
I don't think the women in the TV series are really like that. It's certainly not my personal experience of New York women.
