The military is a discrete entity. Then they come back, and they're such a small percentage of the population, and they can't really - it's hard for them to talk to civilians.
-
I'm intrigued by a tough situation, and I try to do something with it.
-
Truthfully, I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping,' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious, and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.
-
American audiences and European and Asian audiences are so different.
-
I watched John Wayne movies, matinees - things like that. It was only in college that I saw European films. That became more of what I was interested in.

I think about Laura Bush every once in awhile. She is a great supporter of the arts. I did a show at the Eisenhower Theater, and she would make a point of coming backstage. The relationship between Laura and George Bush was always that way where you felt like he was at his best behavior when he was in her company.

I want to be scary, boring, philosophical, funny, touching.

Othello is someone who's just had a victory, and it's the aftermath of coming back and attempting to live comfortably as a civilian.
-
I've always been a fan of George C. Scott, who was working in movies when I was in college... films like 'Patton' and 'Hospital.' I was really impressed by him, and I had seen him onstage as well in 'Uncle Vanya.' He was a champ to me.

With modern medicine prolonging life no matter what condition you're in, it seems like we're working towards immortality by science.

I did 'Malice,' 'Sommersby,' and 'Sleepless in Seattle,' and they're as disparate characters as I've ever played. But somehow, there was that thing - they were all second male leads, so they all didn't get the girl in some weird way.
-
I wake up as soon as it gets light.
-
There's something that comes into you that's so exciting when you're directing.
-
I always feel like there's some behaviour that we're all capable - we have our inhibitions protecting from indulging in certain appetites or developing certain appetites.
-
I do take lots of time off between projects, but when the right thing comes along, I don't like to turn it down, I've been doing this for a decade, and I remember what it was like when I started. You spend maybe five percent of your time actually doing it, and the rest of the time, you're trying to get that five percent.
-
We're all part of humanity. And maybe there's something about the worst people, with the most destructive, warped minds, that is just an acceleration of something that is in quite a few of us.
-
I think I was born out of my time.

I don't have a favorite fruit. There are things that thrill me each turn of the season.

Commercial movies have to end with moral flags flown again and all that.
-
I have a pretty good grip on who I am.
-
I've seen a lot of actors in a lot of different stages of their careers, and I've seen it come and go. People get a sense of entitlement from it. And that's when it starts getting you in trouble.
-
I've never really been a television watcher and watched comedies, and I have gotten a number of invitations to be on television as the dad.

I always loved asking everybody when I arrived in England, from the drivers who picked me up to the people at the hotel to people I met when I was walking in the park, almost everyone at some point would say, 'Everyone loves Ant & Dec!' From eight to 80.
