I'm not an instinctive actor.

I'm an introspective person. I'm not an extrovert.

I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester

Watch the mouth, it reveals what the eyes try to hide.

Parts like Morse don't grow on trees. He's a great character.

There is no more final end than death

You can't say to someone with a brain like Morse, This is the way you do it, regardless of the circumstances; this is the way it is done.

The only power that I want to use is the power of love.

The true soldier fights

Trustworthy is earned not bought.

But life is not like that. You are not an airline. You can't remove a single olive from every salad served in first class and save one point two million dollars.

For a heart without love is a song with no words And a tune to which no one is listening So your heart must give love and you'll find that You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening.

I think one thing that is extremely important is to connect with people in order to be successful and bring the people in so that they become your partners.

Please, I'd love to meet the guy you couldn't handle, and give him and award.

If we wish our civilization to survive we must break with the habit of deference to great men.

That man made me miss my destiny.

My favorite thing about being an actor is that I get to be so many different people in one lifetime. You sort of get to be all of these different characters.
