I'm not as thrilled with myself as I used to be.

I wouldn't like to see a chick of mine taking her clothes off and kissing a fellow on screen. And my girls must get very hurt when they see me doing it.

I'm not a villain, I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and again.

You get so weak from eating pears that you fall down, and then they come and take you away on a stretcher.

I have made many serious statements - I just can't remember any of them. I guess they mustn't have been very important.

I have two ambitions in life: one is to drink every pub dry, the other is to sleep with every woman on earth.

When I come home and I'm tired from filming all day, I expect her to be there and make sure everything is cool for me. You know, like drawing my bath and helping me into bed.

I might get drunk one day and fall in love or fall over a hooker outside, and I would have consummated a relationship that I couldn't necessarily believe in.

I'm really a pacifist.

I'm attracted to women who are smart and funny and ambitious and have lives of their own and great families. Isn't that what attracts anyone?

I'm a civilian, a citizen.

I'm totally in love with Jane Austen and have always been in love with Jane Austen. I did my dissertation at university on black people in eighteenth-century Britain - so I'd love to do a Jane Austen-esque film but with black people.
