I personally think 'Chimes of Midnight' is a much better film than 'Citizen Kane.'

Like so many people, I only remembered Orson Welles as this huge, fat, bearded figure selling wine in TV commercials. So whenever anyone said I looked like Orson Welles I said that I wasn't that fat, and I would get on a diet, quickly.

I am the only actor who ever had to lose weight to play Orson Welles.

People say to me now, Oh, youve given up the piano. How can you? Music is a virus.

Never count your chickens before you can stick a fork into them.

I want to record Goyescas by Granados, which has been a great love of mine since I was a teenager.

I'm told I was acting in school plays when I was a tiny little boy at the age of three, so they must have seen something then. And even when I was practicing piano eight hours a day, I was still doing school plays.

Some actors play themselves, don't they?

Men love women but, even more than that, men love cars.

I always wanted to be an independent maverick, writing plays and putting them on myself.
