The only time I've played a real baddy was when I was Regan in 'King Lear.'
The trouble with kingdoms of heaven on earth is that they're liable to come to pass, and then their fraudulence is apparent for all to see. We need a kingdom of heaven in Heaven, if only because it can't be realized.
I feel a great kinship with my origins, even though I only learned a few words of Arabic.
The only problem I've had with my Vox wah is its tendency to move around on the floor. So now it sits on a rubber mat that says in big letters, 'Kirk's Wah-Wah Rug.'
I made 'True Detective' like it was going to be the only thing I ever made for television. So put in everything and the kitchen sink. Everything.
18th century opera is packed with emotion, but contains not a trace of kitsch. Only with the 'thees' and 'thous' of Victorian poetry does the disease begin to grow in our poetic tradition.
Not only do the Americans not defend our films, they buy them up just for remakes. It is shameful to kneel at their feet.
I don't know why they gave me a knighthood - though it's very nice of them - but I only ever use the title in the U.S. The Americans insist on it and get offended if I don't.
All these portrayals we see of knights fighting must be absolute rubbish because knights in armour could literally have only had two or three blows and then they'd have had to sit down to have a cup of tea.
Knitting not only relaxes me, it also brings a feeling of being at home.
You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.
In Korean films there is only really a strong tradition of melodramas.
The popularity of figure skating has increased tremendously, and Koreans have a huge interest in figure skaters - not only me, other international skaters as well.
I don't really remember much about Kosovo. I only remember growing up in London, where my parents had to basically start from scratch.
I believe that ultimately the situation in Kosovo can only be resolved through self-determination.
It was my first scene in any movie and my only scene in Kramer vs. Kramer. I was petrified.
I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.
The Kurdish problem is not only the problem of one part of my nation: it is a problem of every one of us, including myself.
A U.S. war with Iran could end with a Kurdish enclave in Iran's northwest tied to Iraqi Kurdistan, Iran's Azeri north drifting toward Azerbaijan, and a Balochi enclave in the south linked to Pakistan's largest province, Balochistan, leaving Iran only Persia.
The Kurds were the only people in Iraq who were completely unguarded in expressing their gratitude to the United States for setting them free.
