The darker the character, the more interesting.
From Robert Carlyle
Every actor I think has got their own number of takes that they like, you know. Some actors like to go all day, you know on the one scene and some actors want to take two takes. I personally like four.
It depends who the director is you know, I mean Ken Loach for instance. I've done up to 32 takes with him.
I just don't like the whole Hollywood thing.
I hate the word 'hippy.'
Hunger's a great spur.
It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.
I love sci-fi because it leads in the imagination, and I always say it has the most intelligent fans in the world.
People go to the movies to watch a film and all they're thinking about is the actress's cellulite they saw in a magazine.
In the late '70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa, but that's gone now.
