Quotes
 I
go through life thinking it's all going to end tomorrow.
Any
voices or fantasies, he lives with. Those are his everyday life things.
But
I do know people that have stalkers and it's not nice.
He
knows that you have ability and what he does is he manipulates it and
sort of empowers you.
I
didn't want to do a zoo show. I didn't want to do a study of someone
with mental illness. I just wanted to show someone who was trying to
live their life.
I
love rock with hole.
It's
a Tim sandwich. The meat is fresh, but the bread is moldy.
Revenge
doesn't stop.
Some
stalkers are quite benign, but finding someone in your garden at three
o'clock in the morning with a meat cleaver and a hard-on can't be much
fun.
The
subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what
Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a
turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
The
thing that worries him is socialising - the things that worry us all.
There's
no real side to be on because I think it was a mess.
We
agreed to do it when I was drunk at his house one night, then on the day
I had to have four large brandies - they didn't touch the sides at all.
People just got on with it though. It didn't gather a crowd!
I
don't believe in self-promotion, really I can't be arsed.
People
always say, 'That stuff you did in Love Is the Devil: Study for a
Portrait of Francis Bacon (1998) must have been difficult....but I say,
'No, it wasn't really: that was some of the easier stuff to do,' because
it was always clear and made a lot of sense. It's when things are
unclear and when you don't know what you're doing- that's when things
are difficult.
I
always wanted to be an actor. I had the arrogance to believe I couldn't
be anything else.
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.'
It's
something else. I'm speechless. I've just got to step up to the plate
and deal with it. I had a confidence about it but then that's because of
the people around me who made me feel good about it. I knew positively
on Monday. I was in Baltimore when I took the call. My first reaction
was I needed a drink.
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.
I
kind of feel that if you look at the track record of most Bonds - I mean
Sean Connery obviously defined the part, and even he struggled for a
while to get rid of the mantle.
That's
the pitfall and it could happen to me. I've been working so hard, for
however long it is I've been doing this, to try and stick to doing stuff
I totally believe in and that would be wiped out. I thought, God, this
is all right: I'm doing what I want to do. And that was a huge weight
off my shoulders. |
