 Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing. |
| I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail. |
| I find it hard to understand why Scorsese has never called. You know, given the natural menace I bring to the screen. |
| I think maybe in a way it gets worse because you come in with a real reputation and they've paid you lots of money and all that. |
| Neither Elizabeth or I are keen to do a real-life couple on the screen. It's not very electric. |
| And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow. |
| Women are frightening. If you get to 41 as a man, you're quite battle-scarred. |
| The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather. |
| Strangely enough I'm better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people. |
| You know everyone loves to be the villain. |
| I cling to the fantasy that I could have done something more creative. Like actually writing a script, or writing a book. But the awful truth is that I... probably can't! |
| The truth is, I'd never seen a Cary Grant film. Since then I have watched his stuff and it's astounding, but I don't see any similarity between us. Except for the fact that I'm told he used to wear ladies' underwear, which is something I also do. |
| Most actors really love it, that's what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they'll read a script and think, that's an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is. |
| But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way. |
| The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor. |
| I don't particularly like babies. I don't mind them for about four minutes. That's my max. After that I can't quite see what everyone's fussing about. |
| And I particularly like the whole thing of being boss. Boss and employee... It's the slave quality that I find very alluring. |
| Well, you know I have an office, my film offices. So I know that syndrome. I fancy offices, so there must be something wrong with me. Even the window cleaner intrigues me. It's a very sexy environment. |
| With 2 movies opening this summer, I have no relaxing time at all. Whatever I have is spent in a drunken stupor. |
| For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes. |
