I have never played a role in which someone’s dark side shouldn’t be explored.
It’s a Tim sandwich. The meat is fresh, but the bread is moldy.
Intimate scenes on a movie set are just dry, bizarre things; people standing around.
In many films, as many different characters, I’ve killed many different people.
If I wanted to make spy movies for the rest of my life, that would be one thing, but I don’t want to just make spy movies.
I’ve always retained my privacy, but now I protect it even more.
The character I play has all these revolutionary ideas. I think the classic thing is that majority people who are criticising it probably have never read the books, and need to. And I’m sure that the Catholic Church, which is being directed as you know, can handle it.

Having a sense of humour is really key. You have to have a sense of humour with these things and I’ve just tried to remain who I am. My life has changed. It’s changed in the fact that I don’t have the freedoms I did before, but I’ve also got a huge amount of other freedoms that came along with it.
Literally, the piece at the end is where the universe is cracked apart, it’s a big moment. Basically, they, the filmmakers, have directed the story earlier in the book. It happens, it’s called adapting a book, you have to make decisions about things. It’s not unusual having to cut out scenes.
Throw the computer away and don’t look on the internet. That’s the best thing to do.
The last thing on earth I wanted was to make a Bond movie.
The movie business is based on criminals. Some of them are in movies and some of them make movies.
It didn’t even really matter how good the band was – if someone could keep a beat, then you were prepared to jump up and down and smash around.
If you invite someone into your front room you can’t be surprised when there are suddenly people outside your windows with cameras.
