There is always something about the villains that I’m able to play, quote unquote, that isn’t villainous.

Ben Kingsley

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!

I’m convinced that had I not changed my name, I don’t think I would have had quite the same career curve that I eventually had.

I never read anything in print about me. It started with not reading reviews and with the greatest respect to my publicist here, I never read interviews. I was there when I gave them. I never read reviews. I was there when I did the jobs – so I’m totally immune. I live in a bubble.
