If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.

That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.

I like it when stories are left open.

All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.

I don't play villains, I play very interesting people

It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
