Ralph fiennes

If I had a gun to my head and I had to choose between theater and film I'd choose theater.

Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.

The sets were fantastic. The Harry Potter sets are brilliant. You do get transported for a second.

I certainly gained a lot by reading about Shanghai.

When I first filmed things, they were always slightly awkward.

I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something.

When theater becomes a soothing middle-class thing, when it's packaged as the Night Out, then that's the death of it.

Actors use who they are to be someone else, but I would hate to ever think I'm playing myself. It's imagining being someone else that is the key motivating thing for me. So when people want to know...

In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.

I have no regrets.
