There's still a bit of a problem, in that so many leading English roles are taken by American or French actresses.

There's really one character for every actor. The voyage is to find that one character.

I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.

I love 'Titanic' and the idea that you're kind of rooting for Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to survive despite the fact that you know that they're not going to.

There's something very fine and lucid and rich in this tradition of the English actor.

Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors - has a wonderful sense of character and depth and uniqueness to him, yet he's able to just deliver the lines without putting any English on it.

Any great character is the combination of a brilliant actor and the right writing.

There is a whole bunch of great British actors of my age who aren't film stars or theatre actors; they're very much both.
