I've never been up with the times, always been slightly out of step.

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!

Rather than disliking theatre, I've expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre.

If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito!

You've just got to take a good hard look at yourself, change what needs to be changed, and move on.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

There's some sort of exchange that goes on between human beings that is one of the highest things we do.

Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. It's kleptocracy, it's corruption, it's a nation that's really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy.

A national primary election would electrify the people and give them a larger stake in the outcome.

Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.

Acting is a form of confession.

W. C. Fields, a lifetime agnostic, was discovered reading a Bible on his deathbed. ''I'm looking for a loop-hole,'' he explained.

My memory is not even what most peoples is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.
