I used my instincts. It's very easy to imagine how you'd feel, actually. I just had to tell the narrative.

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

The film is about Joe discovering who his mother and father are and his relationship with them, and the identity crisis he goes through once he finds out who his parents are.

I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.

I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.

No matter how big a name you are, how many big series you've been in or how good looking you are, in the end, all actors are secondary to the writer.

I think the themes of belonging and parentage and love are obviously universal.

When you seek revenge, be sure to dig two graves.

My parents always knew I was hopeless at everything else, I was fortunate in that I was backed all the way. I came to it late and only because I thought there'd be loads of women and drinking!

You must endeavor to seem interested in the conversations of others

Each morning, despite the unknowns, they made their legs move.

People don't do me much good.

You've forgotten those June nights at the Riviera...the night I drank Champagne from your slipper - two quarts. It would have been more but you were wearing inner soles.

If I don't need the money, I don't work.

There are kids who get on BMX bike when they are eight years old and they go,'Whoa, this is incredible,' and grow up to do extreme sports. It is the same for me with acting.

I'm just a sucker even talking to you guys. I should be ready to rip your heads off your necks. But it's just not the right thing to do

Each human being has his own sexual profile, and should exercise it without guilt - provided he does not oblige others to exercise it with him.

Like my boy tells me; if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.

If life is not real, life is not earnest, and the grave is its goal, perhaps it's ridiculous t otake ourselves so seriously.
