Quotes
- "I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe I'm somebody else."
- "Life comes first. What I see in the characters, I first try to see in life."
- "Laurence Olivier might have been a much better actor on film if he hadn't had that flippant attitude. [He] was a remarkable actor, but he was entirely missing the point consistently. He felt that film was an inferior form."
- "Why would I want to play middle-aged middle-class Englishmen?"
