Many times I've sat with a camera and another actor and seen all their fears and insecurities and struggles. You want to support them and help them as much as you can.

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.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

The only way to get truly great intuitive information is to show up and get out of your own way.

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.

You know it's hard for me to, like, act the way I've been acting. And, like, being, like, nice to everyone. And I think I deserve to be acknowledged for that.

The process of innovation is, of course, never ending.

Don't underestimate the power of the nonplussed look and the shake of the head. Letting noxious words hang in the air can be very powerful.

You might be a redneck if the highlight of your parties is when you flip out your false teeth.

Fear is not the opposite of courage. Fear is the catalyst of courage.

Never whine. Whining lets a brute know that a victim is in the neighborhood.

You should hammer your iron when it is glowing hot.
