I learned a lot from just watching Meryl in repose. It was a bit like a Sherlock deduction actually. The tabloid image of him, what he fears is going to be promoted - that weird, white-haired guy wanted for rape - is so far from what we did. My voice, my motions - I worked my arse off to create that dragon!
I can tell you I'm a huge fan of Downton Abbey and what I said was quite, quite clearly - to most intelligent New York Times readers - a joke. Sometimes as an actor you're looking for the infinite. If you can hold that, if you can remember that in the chaos, [it will] anchor you and give you grace and ease. Worst thing about my profession? The press, obviously. Don't write that, eh? We're living in a culture now that's revering, or having a nostalgia trip with, the beginning of the s.
Although Downton traded a lot on the sentiment in the last series It's made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary. I don't live beyond my means. I enjoy luxury and I enjoy the privilege of it, when I can afford it, and I'm in the situation where it's been given to me, but I'm very conscious of what is wasteful. I've always had an eye on longevity; I've got loads more goals to achieve. It's not like I've completely conquered the whole thing.
That's a lifetime's objective, not an overnight thing. It's pretty fleeting, and I guess that's how it should be, because the minute you try to hold on to it, it's too precious, and you start to try to reinvigorate the ghost of what you've done rather than keep evolving it. Every time I'm seen at a bar with a girl, I get photographed. Anyone who has a computer knows my entire dating history.
I get it. Paparazzi is an inescapable, immovable obstacle. The rule of law is being overrun so fast, eroding our civil liberties in a way that fundamentalists could possibly cherish. Yet there is a very real threat, for the other liberty that we could have taken away is our life, at any point, through the act of terrorism.
I think intelligence services have really struggled post-Iraq with credibility, and I feel for them to a certain degree. They are trying to protect our right to exist.
I've never been an activist, but I've always been politically aware. I protested against budget cuts and cuts to education. I marched against the Iraq war.
All that protesting was just swept aside to pave the way for an illegal war, and the results of that war were made very, very plain by those leaked war logs.
He did an amazing Smaug, and hobbits, and Gandalf as well - it's the audiobook that will never exist. The only thing that may unite all forms of acting in a sense is no matter what preparation you do, no matter what transformative process you go through, you are always yourself.
You are always inside your own skin - you are who you are no matter what the actions of the movement or the effect. You have to have an essential element of you, and that is also what is in the present. Once you're in the present and you're not worried about the wig, or the special-effects suit, or the dialogue, or the accent, or the moral responsibility, when you are lost in the moment and you're in the present is when the stuff that's really good comes on screen.
Until that point, you've put in a lot of hard work to then let go, and all of us experience moments - and they're rare in every job I find - where you feel free of any kind of self-consciousness. Hopefully, the film will bring to the fore what an extraordinary human being he was and how appalling his treatment by the government was. It's a really shameful, disgraceful part of our history.
Hollywood-style stardom was never my goal, yet it seems to be happening due to particular projects. I don't seek. I don't avoid. I just follow my path, doing my best.
You can only ever see it from an outsider and comment on it with the rueful wisdom of a non participant. When it happens to you, it doesn't matter what age or how, it is a very steep learning curve.
The important thing to realize in all of it is that life is short, to protect the ones you love, and not expose yourself to too much abuse or narcissistic reflection gazing and move on. If fame affords me the type of ability to do the kind of work I'm being offered, who am I to complain about the downsides.
It's all relative. And this are obviously very high class problems. The way privacy becomes an every shrinking island is inevitable but also manageable and it doesn't necessary have to get that way. It was just so pitiful. Imagining the physical weakness, the vulnerability, the exhaustion, how the hormones affected his emotional state. It was all ungovernable.
What matters to me is the quality and the variety of the work. I'm in it for the long game. I'm interested in working in 40 years' time, and turning round and talking to an actor on set and telling them stories about working with Judi Dench and Michael Gambon. So any talk of "man of the moment" hype, heat, whatever, I just smile wryly. It's the same shit with "sexiest whatever" - I was around 10 years before that as an actor and no one took the same face seriously. Rowling, and Charlie Chaplin.
