No one trusts me any more. I spent half the movie Maigret (1988) arguing with people, and I was accused of causing big on-set rows. But what they won't tell you is I fought for Simenon. I fought for the maintenance of quality. I don't believe in lying down on the job. I've seen these so-called 'nice' actors. Very able fellows like Ian McKellen and Kenneth Branagh. But they're like bank managers. So sweet and careful. Who needs them? We are suffering a plague of good taste. Give me Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke any day. They project danger. That's what makes acting - and life - interesting.

Good to see yer back.
And with an excellent quote.
