I think people love it when anybody acts bad; its not particular to me.
I remember meeting the likes of Johnny Carson and Jimmy Stewart for the first time and being completely starstruck.
I dont play villainy. I wouldnt even know how to play it.
I dont categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I dont judge; I just play them.
I dont even think in terms of ambition.
I have always believed that the risk takers are eventually rewarded.
Im attracted to things that are challenging and fun and interesting, and it certainly seems that audiences enjoy them as well.
Im able to hang up the character with the costume at the end of the movie.
I guess Ive been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.
London is a very energising place to be.
Kids arent growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.
Its extremely dangerous to compare anyone else to Shakespeare.
Its interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
