“I've been offered TV things over the years, but usually, that's about that I don't want to be away from home for that long, because it's a long time to be away your home country and my family.”
“We didn't need the Internet for Nazi Germany to happen. But I feel like there's this lack of humanity because of it.”
“It's not my ambition to direct lots of films. I think if I direct one film in my whole life, why rush it?”
“Trying to keep a relationship going on the phone is disastrous.”
“The whole question of 'What is truth?' seemed to be the theme of Trump's presidency.”
“I don't worry. I'm more stoical. Of course I have insecurities. I fear getting older. I fear death and illness. I'm not prone to depression, but I get depressed because everybody gets depressed. Suddenly I'm away from my family or doing a job I'm not enjoying.”
“I've realized over the years I either play very good people or very bad people, and I think I always enjoy the very bad people more.”
“I would consider myself one of the least misogynistic men in the country - if anything, just the opposite.”
“I don't think they should trust anything that happens in 'Fargo' at all, and I'm sure 'Fargo' fans know not to make the mistake of trusting too much.”
“Restoration I did because I really loved e novel and I like Michael Hoffman, who directed it, but it wasn't a really challenging part for me. I'm not critical of the film: I just don't think I gave a very interesting performance.”
“I've always loved writing. It was always what I wanted to do.”
“I wanted to do 'Fargo' rather than do a TV production. I've been offered TV things over the years, but usually, that's about that I don't want to be away from home for that long because it's a long time to be away your home country and my family.”
“For years, I've been mistaken for Rhys Ifans. All the time. People come up and say, 'Notting Hill?' I nearly got beaten up once for not being Rhys.”
“No matter what one looks at and finds temporarily pleasing, it can never be as beautiful as just a tree, really.”
“I did 'Basic Instinct 2' because I had a baby about to be born, and the director said we could shoot before the due date.”
“I usually do watch what I've done because I think it's important. I think you can learn from it and see what you thought you were doing and what ends up on the screen.”
“It's a bit odd to have a daughter who sounds American.”
“It's certainly not easy having to spend a lot of time apart, and having a five-year-old child who's got to be at school. So we need to learn how to organize our time really well because for months we will be in two different countries.”
“'Naked' kind of kicked me off into the film world. It just so happens that all of the things that I have been offered have been films, and I've enjoyed the travel that goes along with that.”
“I adore children. If I weren't an actor, I would be a teacher or work with small children in some way. I feel happy in their company.”
