The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.
When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn’t keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.
I never go on the net or the web, or whatever it’s called.
If I ruled the world, every woman would have a Chanel suit in her wardrobe.
I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.
Jerry Bruckheimer says that he makes films that he would want to see, and it seems that that coincides with what a lot of people want to see.
I’m crazy about James Brown. I’m crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.
Somebody asked me recently, ‘Have you done a lot of plays?’ I thought hang on. I used to do nothing but plays. I’ve been very fortunate that on several occasions I’ve had jobs where I didn’t want to be anywhere else in the world whatever you had to offer – however much money you’ve got.
I’m a jacket man. And if I’m without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don’t know how to operate in shirt sleeves.
If you are supposed to be villainous and have some sort of agenda, I like the idea of delivering that kind of character in a perfectly well-mannered way.
When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.
I’m not famous for my back story investigations; I’m lucky that I work with good writers and it’s usually in the script.
When a movie is called ‘searingly honest,’ it’s almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.
I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I’d meet beautiful women in the rain.
I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.
I have never owned a computer. I am one of those weirdos. I’ve never needed a computer. I’m lucky that I have a job where I’m not required to use one.
I have nothing against romanticism. I’m all for it. I’m helpless in the face of romance.
I don’t spend a lot of time with anybody.
I don’t seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn’t help me. Precedents don’t inform my experience.
I don’t even own a car.
