"The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather"

"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 don't have any particular burning desire to go back to being cuddly. Not really"

"Women are frightening. If you get to 41 as a man, you're quite battle-scarred"

"I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact"

"With 2 movies opening this summer, I have no relaxing time at all. Whatever I have is spent in a drunken stupor"

"When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next"

"The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred, I mean a thousand, scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny"

"Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing"

"The truth is, I'd never seen a Cary Grant film. Since then I have watched his stuff and it's astounding, but I don't see any similarity between us. Except for the fact that I'm told he used to wear ladies' underwear, which is something I also do"
