"I always wanted to be an actor. I had the arrogance to believe I couldn't be anything else."

"I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other. That's a simple fact. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess. It was on a shoot and it scared me. Bullets have a nasty habit of finding their target and that's what's scary about them."

"As far as I'm concerned, I want to be nowhere else. It's difficult in film because everybody wants to make a safe bet with roles. But if you are going to do stuff then you should be getting strong reactions. I don't want audiences to be going, 'Yeah, that's all right.'"

You also find out what it’s like falling down a flight of stairs. It feels like you’re falling down a f**king flight of stairs. And that’s what we wanted to feel. We wanted to feel the pain, the pain in it.

It’s playground stuff. It really is ‘Na, na, na! You did this!’ And it’s like ‘Fuck off, I’ve got more important things to think about.’ I was certainly expecting a bit of a backlash, but I wasn’t expecting the way it came. But it did, and that’s it.

But I’m not obsessive about it. I work out three or four times a week, but I take the weekends off and drink as much Guinness as I can get down my neck.

Because healthcare's better, people live longer, so there are all these people in their 70s who want to have sex. I mean, I'm going to want to have sex right until the very end, thank you very much.

The UK is not an island of therapy - Jung and Freud passed us by.
