The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.
I think that me turning up is kind of a grim anti-climax. And I think that he should just have the life that he was meant to have. I think having a wrinkly actor show up 20 years after is a little old, really.

It's so comforting to know that there are so many people in this world sicker than I am.
I like dangerous directors who like dangerous actors and dangerous productions.
I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.
But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?
I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author's view, and I think that's terribly dangerous.
I like risky parts - abrasive characters the audience won't necessarily like.
It's the best job in the whole world. There's no job better.
I'm not a conventional leading man at all and have no wish to be.
You can't stay away from the theater too long.
I moved to L.A., because that's where they point cameras at you. And that's what I'd like them to do.
The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.
