I've Always Been Terrified About Being Bored.

I've Always Been Terrified About Being Bored. I Always Think Being Bored Is The Worst Thing. The Only Strategic Decision I Ever Made As An Actor Was To Try And Make Each Job As Different As Possible.

The Big Stars I Felt A Kinship With Were Never The Romantic Leads. It Wasn't Steve Mcqueen Or Robert Redford - It Was People Like Walter Matthau And Anthony Quinn. My Big Hero Was Tommy Cooper.

Even At Drama School If There Was A Part Of Some Eastern European Thug It Would Be Me.

Music Is An Essential Part Of My Life And I'm Completely Lost Without A Good Album To Listen To Or My Ipod In My Pocket!

I Enjoy Playing Villains - I'm Very Proud That I Belong To A Very Honorable Tradition Of British Actors Who Come To Hollywood To Play The Bad Guys. At Some Point In American Film, I Think There Was The Idea That The British Accent Had A Tone To It That's A Little Bit Naughty.
