The guys from Atari that are making the next Alone in the Dark game came and we had a great meeting. I'd love to do that. I'm a fan of videogames. I like them. And to get to be part of one of them would be a fun and exciting thing.

The movies I've made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I've had to play has been me in that time in my life.

There's something about doing theatre in London - it sinks a little bit deeper into your soul as an actor. It's something about the tradition of theatre, about performing on the West End stage.

This is what Hollywood tends to do. It tends to disregard tradition, history and anything factual, twisting it and turning it and making it all okay regardless of what the English may think of it.

Well, obviously, as soon as I'd finished the script I read a lot of books on Winston Churchill, and started to gain weight and really prepare emotionally, mentally and physically for the role.

Good judgement comes from experience. Sometimes, experience comes from bad judgement.

Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

Hopefully, that people could see a progression in my performances because that's how it's always felt to me.

How do I feel about being a star now? Well I still try to live life and enjoy what I am doing.

I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.

I don't think of myself as offbeat and weird. As a kid, I saw myself as the type of guy who would run into a burning building to save the baby.

I had such a good time working with John Woo and John Travolta, and it was so professional. I want to work with people who are real professionals.

I want to do films I can relate to emotionally.

I was a shy, quiet kid. I was happiest playing by myself with my toys, rather than hanging around people.

I was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him.

I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?

In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
