Quotes:
  • I think the point to be understood is that we're all different. I've never been a fan of theories of acting. I didn't go to drama school, so I was never put through a training that was limited by someone saying, 'This is the way you should act.'
  • To be asked to join them on this expedition--akin to climbing Everest cinematically--I knew it would be something I'd regret if I didn't do it. But it's not real hard work. If you see in this film Gandalf leaping onto a horse without a saddle or a bridle, it's not me. It's not this actor!
  • Acting is no longer about lying. It's now about revealing the truth. People are at ease with me now. Honesty is the best policy.
  • I've had enough of being a gay icon! I've had enough of all this hard work, because, since I came out, I keep getting all these parts, and my career's taken off. I want a quiet life. I'm going back into the closet. But I can't get back into the closet, because it's absolutely jam-packed full of other actors.
