But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
I think maybe in a way it gets worse because you come in with a real reputation and they've paid you lots of money and all that.
I don't think there's much point in putting me a deep, dark, heavy, emotional film because there are people who do it so much better than I do.
I don't particularly like babies. I don't mind them for about four minutes. That's my max. After that I can't quite see what everyone's fussing about.
I don't have any particular burning desire to go back to being cuddly. Not really.
For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.
But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way.
Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.
And I particularly like the whole thing of being boss. Boss and employee... It's the slave quality that I find very alluring.
I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact.
I cling to the fantasy that I could have done something more creative. Like actually writing a script, or writing a book. But the awful truth is that I... probably can't!
When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.
Most actors really love it, that's what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they'll read a script and think, that's an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is.
I had Courtney Love's left bosom out of her dress on my plate in front of me. It was extraordinary. I didn't know where to look.
