I've Always Longed For The Theatre And Acting To Be Popular. No Actor Wants To Play To An Empty House. We Only Do It For An Audience. The More The Merrier. I Don't Make Any Distinction Between A Popular Tv Series Or Blockbuster Film And Doing Shakespeare. They're Different, But As Long As The Material Is Good And The Intention Is Honourable, It's All The Same To Me.

Acting Is A Very Personal Process. It Has To Do With Expressing Your Own Personality, And Discovering The Character You're Playing Through Your Own Experience - So We're All Different.

2d Looks So Flat. Well, It Is, Of Course, It's Flat. But 3d Isn't. And For An Adventure Story That Takes You Into A Long-distant, Fictional World, It's Ideal, I Think.

I've Played An Awful Lot Of People That Other People Would Call Villains, But That Isn't A Very Helpful Attitude To Have If You're About To Play Them. They Are Just People, And They May Do Dreadful Things And Say Dreadful Things, But Your Job As An Actor Is To Know Why They Do Them Or Say Them.

You Would Be Surprised How Many Directors Don't Know What They Want. They Might Not Know What They Want Until They See It, They Might Know What They Want But No Idea How To Get It Out Of The Actor, Then You've Both Got A Problem.
