I've worked with people from Fred Zinnemann, John Huston, through to Richard Fleischer, all of those boys from Hollywood and so on, and Sam Peckinpah and then the Mike Radfords.

I've been incredibly lucky with the directors I've worked with.

My surname certainly suggests a man whose destiny has always been injury.

I have died in so many spectacular ways, and I remember shooting them all, too. I imagine all those deaths will flash in front of me when I'm on my death bed, faced with the real thing.

I'd never done any Beckett before 'Krapp,' and I haven't done any of his other plays since. I've always felt that 'Krapp' is an autobiographical piece.

I don't like it when people shout on stage without any particular reason. It carries no weight.

I've never felt that anger is a very powerful emotion.

I don't care about the length of anything I play, as long as it's a good character.

Not everyone wants to see children's films, comics, and supermen.

Early on, I didn't intend to have children. I thought it was too difficult a world for them. But then it happened, and I am thrilled to have them now.
