I'm Doing The Next Batman. I Have To Become Obsessed About What Is Offered To Me.

The American Cinema In General Always Made Stories About Working-class People; The British Rarely Did. Any Person With My Working-class Background Would Be A Villain Or A Comic Cipher, Usually Badly Played, And With A Rotten Accent. There Weren't A Lot Of Guys In England For Me To Look Up To.

I Don't Think Human Beings Are Bad. They're Weak. And That's What Makes 'em Bad.
