I'm not someone who's led my life trying to get publicity; I'd rather do my work and go home.
My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell.
Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.
There are ways in which you can make sure that even if people come to the theatre because they know an actor or actress, by the end, theyve forgotten that, and they leave going, Wow - what an amazing play.
I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.
I like being able to go to a local pub and have great food and particularly love pubs that welcome my dogs.
There are two things that have been happening over the last few decades in my opinion. First, there have been unbelievable, remarkable, pioneering advances in technology and, second, an equal amount of evolution in creativity. These two shifts are meeting at an intersection.
I suppose the most important thing is to stay interested. It's very easy in life if you get to a place where you're successful to hit the same groove on the record player over and over again because it's safe.
The story is everything, which means it's our job to tell better stories.
Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.
The journey that we go on as actors is an interesting one and sometimes a revealing one.
I have never played a game in my life.
I think you need the failures to get the success. You learn more from that.
I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman.
