I think I would not be described as a character actor in that I don't take on characteristics which are very alien to me.

I envy children who know that they're going to become doctors, know they're going to go into the forces or whatever. I think choice is one of the hardest things, but that's what I try to give my children, to say you can do anything.

You think, you don't just speak. The lines come off the thoughts.

I'm very glad I'm not a politician. I think it's one step away from the gates of hell, being a politician. I really do. It`s a nightmare.
