Anyone that knows me knows what I'm about, and I'm very much a British actor, a European actor.

I'm an actor more than anything else.

I'm a fan of a very few actors.

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.

I'm an actor who plays an intriguing character, not a political pundit.

I'm just an actor. I am nothing special.

I'm just a character actor.

I still have a reputation as an eccentric. But the fact is that audiences probably mix up my roles with me as a person.

I'm not just friends with fellow actors, but I find that a lot of people are out here in L.A. I go out of my way to make sure that's not the case, but I do have a lot of friends who are actors.
