I think I must be the only British actor who's played both Stalin and Trotsky. I need to play Lenin so I can make it a triptych.
When I was little, I saw the play 'Les Miserables' on Broadway, I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
An agent said he didn't know what to do with me, I wouldn't be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.
Bush is the Liberace of Cuban politics. He knows how to play us. He says every single thing they want to hear.
'Behind The Candelabra' is an HBO movie. It's the Liberace story. Michael Douglass and Matt Damon. I play a small part in it. I play a choreographer who introduces, brings Matt Damon to Las Vegas for the first time.
When 'The Lighthouse,' bizarrely, became the film that people wanted to greenlight, it was really clear that those were the only two people to play the roles. And I knew that they would want to do it.

Besides my father, who used to be a footballer at the local level, it is Messi for whom I started to play football.
For newspapers to continue to play an important role in civic engagement, they need more access to capital. Their decline has created a real threat to independent reporting at the state and local level.
