I'll Be Your Friend So Long As

I Like Playing Strange Characters. Some People Might Say It Has Something To Do With A Hidden Part Of Myself, But I Think It's A Lot Simpler Than That: Normal People Are Just Not Very Interesting.

I Think The Dictator Director Is Based Upon Stories From The Past. I Don't Think Anyone Would Put Up With It Now. There Are A Lot Of People On A Film Set With Egos. So, To Be Completely Authoritarian, You'd Probably Have To Have A Reputation Like Kurosowa Or Somebody To Get Away With It.

Less Racist Now But It Has Been. I Don't Think It's Been Completely Stamped Out. There's A Class Element To It. And Who's Supposed To Do What. You're Very Unlikely To Get A Gay Grip.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Have Just Given Me A Time Out From My 20-year Midlife Crisis. My Heartfelt Thanks To Them.

But It's Interesting Being Directed By Someone Who Is A Very Good Actor. There's Nothing Like It. It Might Sound Like A Territorial Thing About What I Do, But I Don't Think You Can Understand What It Is Until You've Done It. I Know That To Be A Fact.
