british-actor room since widely
I was in my mid-20s when I did A Room With A View, and now I'm 41. I can't think of anything since that has been that widely viewed.
great scandal time
There was a time when it would be a great scandal if you announced you were going to be an actor.
hollywood film knows
It was a sad thing. I don't know how he learned that.
eyeglasses let-it-go thrill
If you watch Olivier's interviews, he has this reptilian tongue; it seems too big for his mouth. My pursuit of that became distracting, so I let it go. The thrill was finding the right pair of glasses.
running shooting rehearsal
Nobody could dissapear to their trailer once it was up and running, you were all there on the same stage. It was 10 days of rehearsal and 10 days of shooting, which was very tiring.
thinking magic acting
Actors have a magic gene within them - I think they're the finest descendants of rogues and vagabonds - and it's all too easily forgotten what the acting legacy is.
song school player
I subscribe to that school of thespian - to be a wandering minstrel or traveling player, a thing ofrags and patches, of ballads, songs and snatches.
maturity actors stuck
As a fortysomething actor, you reach a plateau of maturity from which you can really get stuck in.
running actors demon
All actors are on the run from some demon or other.
mumbai bombay yards
The thing about Mumbai is you go five yards and all of human existence is revealed. It's an incredible cavalcade of life, and I love that.
nice drama character
I just love doing broader work - I always get asked to do fairly heavy-duty, intense dramas and interesting, psychologically intense characters. But you know, it's nice to make people laugh sometimes.
thinking hollywood-films people
I think there is an immense charm and humanity about the Bollywood structure, probably in the way there was about Hollywood film in the '30s and '40s. Somehow they were less distracted about hardware, and more about production values and people, you know?
made camps ifs
If one is reported as having set up camp overseas, it's as if one has made oneself unavailable.
soccer football zoos
When I take my kids to the zoo in Los Angeles, they always look the longest at the creature that moves the least - especially those in the reptile house. I asked myself: 'Who are the people that are pretty cool but also very still and monotone in their expression?' and I thought of Jose Mourinho.
