I don't want to be famous. I like to be able to sit in a cafe and watch the world go by and observe people.

If you were to do a line-up of past suitors, it's definitely a very eclectic group, is all I'll say.

I couldn't care less about walking down the red carpet in a pair of heels and a posh frock. I'd rather be in my pyjamas at home.

I'm half-Welsh, half-Russian. My maternal grandmother is Russian. I've very much a mongrel, which is good in a way because it makes me quite a blank canvas.

The culture of celebrity has become insane. It's all based on fantasy, and I find it creepy and disturbing.

I don't want to be known for anything other than the fact that I play characters in movies.

I've chosen not to talk about my really private life to the press - I've never invited a huge amount of attention.

I'm very grateful that I have one of those faces that seems to blend back into the crowd. A lot of people pay lip service to wanting a normal life, but it's actually very important to me.

I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.

I would love to do a really cool romantic comedy, perhaps with Hugh Grant. I think he is brilliant. That's the kind of film I love to go to see. I love 'girls' films.

I've spent a lot of time in L.A. and I love it. A lot of Brits can't stand the place, but I like the West Coast attitude and the way people celebrate success.

At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.

Each one of my movies becomes easier to get off the ground.

The press Yazoo were receiving were focused on the voice, This obviously was about trends.

Your damnation is your own election, not God’s.

I really like nice forearms - nice strong hands and forearms. I love that because then they can wear a watch really well.

When I first came to the United States in 1956 I fell in love with things - mainly the vitality and the freedoms.

There is a fear of voluptuousness that is itself voluptuous, just as a certain fear of death can itself be deadly.

Total peace after death, becoming someone else, is the best hope I've got.

As a disabled man, let my life be a reflection of the endless amount of ability that exists in each and everyone of us.

God has no forms, no limbs, no qualities, no preferences, no prejudices.
