That's definitely true! It was before my father died, so I can't attribute it to an obsession with death. When I was seven, I loved those old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone. The Scarlet Claw was one of my faves. And I loved all the Halloween's and that film about the haunted house... Burnt Offerings, with Oliver Reed. Every birthday party was a slumber party and we'd watch horror films.
I've been pretty lucky in the leading men department.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
People tend to look great if they feel great.
People had always vaguely mentioned that when you have children, how part of your life would stop. But they don't say that some other extraordinary part of your life opens up.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at just doing nothing.
Thank you to Martin Scorsese - I hope my son will marry your daughter.
Conservatism is affecting the way women perceive who they are in the world.
Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned (and) we should not turn a blind eye to them.
I think if you're going to wear a red lip, you don't want it wearing you, so it's about finding the right colour.
I tend to use really basic creams, and I like to put an oil on, like an emu oil from Australia. It's from the emu, and it's really nourishing. I prefer an oil to a cream.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I have to write everything down.
I don't think it's more difficult for actors to have a good marriage than anyone. I think, in the end, a really important component of any relationship is honesty, and it also comes down to luck.
I don't know, maybe my sons will be gay.
