I've never thought of myself as a professional. I very rarely do something I don't enjoy.

I've worked with Lars von Trier on many films, and there's always a female character that's like an open wound - everything just pours out of this person.

All male roles are written in a way where you just hide what's going on inside you, and all female roles are written in a way where they expose everything.

I started acting as an amateur when I was a kid, but I wanted to become a diplomat. It was self-centered and weird, but I had this idea of going out in the world and solving conflicts and making the world a better place. But I kept on acting, and eventually, I just dropped out of school and continued acting.

There is this sense of David Cameron leading a Government that's badly out of touch with ordinary people's lives. I'd absolutely welcome the opportunity to show all political leaders what life is like for most people.

Why would I be willing to challenge my Republican leadership? Because my allegiance will always be to the Constitution and the American people first and foremost, not to my political party.

Leadership involves building an esprit de corps, the creation of a sense of purpose in pursuit of noble and clear objectives.

Today, we are on a path of decay. We are seeing the book close on five decades of accomplishment as the leader in human space exploration.
