I can't imagine childhood without 'Planet of the Apes.' I was nine or ten when the first one came out.
Culturally, politically, everywhere you look... Read the newspaper. Go online. Our world has gone to hell.
I like a cheese and pickle. Nice cheese and pickle on a real old-fashioned bread. Ploughman's lunch.
Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically.
I still don't have a publicist. If I'm in a film, you have an obligation to promote it, I'll do as much as I can.
It's funny I'm a lifelong musician, but because I principally play the piano it's been a solitary thing.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.
I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list.

If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.
I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.

And of course I've got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip.
