I'd like an omelet named after me.

My career has suddenly started to be the one that I'd always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of - and this is what I've been banging on about - playing different parts in different media.

Don’t die with a bottle of champagne in your fridge.

I no longer have a style to maintain. I rent a little flat in Los Angeles, I don’t take holidays, I don’t dine out and I take cheap flights.

I’m in a position where I’m being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don’t know who I am.

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son’s perspective.

When I left drama school, my fear was that I’d get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite.

I think the only thing I’ve got going for me as an actor specifically is the fact that I can change.

Im hoping that a lifetime of compromise and disappointment will read as extra depth and layers in my work.

My favourite things are just wandering from place to place, going to cafés, taking photographs. My favourite day is a happy accident.
