Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he's terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he's a terrific actor.

I think all those actors from that generation, like Bogart - they were wonderful actors. They didn't act. They just came on and they did it, and the characters were wonderful.

I admire a lot of actors; I think a lot of them have so much talent.

I think the first British actor who really worked well in cinema was Albert Finney. He was a back-street Marlon Brando. He brought a great wittiness and power to the screen. The best actor we've had.

As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.

I think I would have had trouble living with someone who didn't know what it was like to be an actor.
