We're all just passing time and occupy our chair very briefly.
I've never changed the way I live. I still walk the streets; I don't give a damn. And everyone's very nice to me. But this new idea of being famous for no reason at all? I can't actually get my head round it.
Each day, as you get older, there is a new perspective on life. It's a progression of some sort.
I've never guided my life. I've just been whipped along by the waves I'm sitting in. I don't make plans at all. Plans are what make God laugh. You can make plans, you can make so many plans, but they never go right, do they?
We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they're all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how.
I've never been pushy. People have said I should have been, more, but I'm not sure. I've watched hugely ambitious people: the minute they've got a success, they know where it's going, they know how to deal with it, and it all happens for them. Great. But that's not the way I - well, I don't like to use the word 'operate'.
Also the wonderful thing about film, you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You did realise that it is going to come to an end at some stage.
For everything that you find dreadful, there's usually something that is rather marvelous as well.
I've done all sorts of children's things before, but none as big as 'Harry Potter.'
It's quite a dangerous career move to go wilfully on making films that may not find a distributor.
Really, I'm only alive out of curiosity. I'm very curious about where we're all marching.
I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films.
Punk recognised the fact that the establishment had no room. There's no point in saying you've got the establishment wrong because they hadn't got the establishment wrong, they'd got it absolutely dead on.
I like the physical activity of gardening. It's kind of thrilling. I do a lot of weeding.
Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.
It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater.
Life is full of ironies and paradoxes.
Film is not literature - the image on screen is the information you get.
I have lots of favourite memories but I can't say that I have a favourite film.
I'm essentially the result of other people's imagination. And that's fine. Because of other people's imagination, I've played parts I would never have thought I could do. Still, I've never had a hankering or an ambition for any particular role.
