I always wanted to be an actor. I had the arrogance to believe I couldn't be anything else.
I've seen a lot in my life, and everybody goes down the dark, winding staircase eventually. It's a bad place to be and that's why having good friends is always essential. Those are the people who pull you out.
I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars.
I guess you could say I've been in my share of violent movies.
I'm not James Bond. There's your headline! It's very clear to me that he's the furthest from my character that it's possible to be. It's somebody I play.
I don't want to be a celebrity because that sucks. It's just madness.
It’s not the job of an actor to judge your character
I'm quite good at leaning against a bar.
I can't really dress rock 'n' roll any more because I'm the wrong side of 40, but I want that to be the fashion.
If money comes along I will take it. I just want good scripts that try to make you think. I've been offered lots of money in the past but I just know that I would abuse it and get drunk.
I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say, 'OK, I'll go with you on this.'
Shakespeare has way too many lines. My ideal theatre piece is about 40 minutes long with no interval.
I don't see the world in sexual divisions.
When you're making movies you've got to get obsessive.
