In 'Seven Years In Tibet,' I played a Buddhist. But I'm not religious at all, really.

To Richard Gere: As you're a Buddhist, do you like Tibet or do you think gambling's wrong?

I've been to Nepal, but I'd like to go to Tibet. It must be a wonderful place to go. I don't think there's anything there, but it would be a nice place to visit.

No matter what one looks at and finds temporarily pleasing, it can never be as beautiful as just a tree, really.

I had such a nice time making it, and I can't wait to make the fifth one. The whole crew were just really, really lovely. All the costume people, the make-up girls, the kids - even my driver.

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.
