- On almost being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War: Luckily, I had a series of personality problems and something wrong with one ear - I think bedwetting came into it somewhere; I honestly can't remember - so, all in all, it just wasn't possible for me to make that contribution.
- On the opera visits during his youth: I remember seeing Joan Sutherland sing Semiramide, a wonderful production. Carmen, I remember well, and going to see Robert Speight in "A Man for All Seasons" and then these fantastic trips to Florentino's. Any boarding school kid really learns the value of good food.
- On his role in The Curse of King Tut's Tomb (2006): And then I went to India to shoot an absolutely ghastly pile of tosh, but we were in Jaipur for seven weeks; I'd never been to India and I found it the most astonishingly beautiful, wonderful and nourishing country I'd ever been to in my life. Thank you very much: where next?
- On his role as the Egyptologist in The Mummy (1999):...you end up with a bunch of people who are really fun, and find you are all in Marrakesh for a couple of weeks, then the middle of the desert for five weeks. What could be more wonderful?
