record saying suppose
I was on record before I did 'The Hobbit,' saying I don't care at all about 3D. And I suppose I should now say I care a lot about 3D. I've always loved 3D, I think everything should be 3D, and I think it's just a shame 'The Godfather' wasn't in 3D.
beatles interest people quite recording seven time vital
I always kind of think if The Beatles were still around now, people would've lost interest quite a long time ago. Seven years of recording - it's there forever. I think not outstaying your welcome is a vital ingredient.
people leaving records
I value being able to go into a record shop and people leaving me alone.
shakespeare
I've tried not to treat Shakespeare as a marble giant.
accent work
I've not been called on to do a lot of accent work.
It would be a shame for me if I were to become 'Mr. Half-Hour Sitcom.'
time
I've been well-known in Britain for a long time.
Fans want to see a story with characters, and they want to see a story.
job
Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.
dark fun spend time truly
Even someone as truly dark as Lorne Malvo is still very attractive, and you want to spend time with him because he's a fun character.
creature hard maybe
I've never been to a festival. I'm a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa's squishy. Maybe too squishy - it's hard to get up sometimes.
envied god people slightly
I've always slightly envied other actors I know who have different reputations. I think, 'God, you don't get people coming up to you, going, 'Hey!' - because they're scared of you.'
since
I've always liked clothes, since I was a kid.
exist great movies television
Television is where the great movies that used to exist have gone.
