jobs children together
When I came back from filming 'Abduction', I told my agent: I'm staying in London now. If it takes doing children's theater from the back of a van in Kilburn, that's OK. I need to be with my family. My job is to keep the family together and provide for them.
hate actors want
God, I hate interviews with actors pouncing on. Who wants to know about their lives? I don't want to know about Al Pacino's life.
running achilles i-can
I damaged my Achilles tendon, so I can't run.
liars thinking paid
I think I was probably always a liar; I just get paid for it now.
depth university bits
I went to university and I was a bit out of my depth, socially.
children book cracks
I went off and read the books after the audition and I read all four books in one sitting - you know - didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic. I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought where slightly backward, had been so addicted to these children's books. They're like crack.
names awards thumbs
I get some of the nicest fan mail you could imagine. Also when I'm up for an award, my fans all vote online and then they'll boast to each other about how many thousands of times they've clicked my name. Their thumbs must be bleeding!
acting narcissistic hunger
Acting is usually regarded as a wholly narcissistic pursuit but there really is a hunger in me to unravel the human condition.
jobs lasts stories
I'm at the beginning of it. I'm Elektra's last job before the story kicks off.
strong real character
Look, I play all these tough guys and thugs and strong, complex characters. In real life, I am a cringing, neurotic Jewish mess. Can't I for once play that on stage?
order lazy wigs
In fact my favourite thing is the wig because I'm a very lazy actor so every time I put it on, in order to keep it straight, they kept on telling me to tip my head back because otherwise I was eating it all the time.
acting way release
I could release myself into acting in a way that I was not released socially.
distance hate work-out
I would love to tell you I've found the secret to eternal youth. I go to the gym and avoid too many chips. I love to eat, hate to work out, but if you can't count all your ribs from a distance you're considered obese.
thinking people done
I think this show I'm going to do,' Awake,' if it's done well, will not only be provocative and entertaining, but help people. I want to do that.
