[on how building up an intimidating physique was important for 300 (2006)]: It’s easy for me to be paranoid, especially when you’re an actor playing the lead role. I have previously seen so many actors with a massive amount of armour on and then these little twiggy arms. I’m not naming any names, but some of them have these plummy accents and you think to yourself: ‘You couldn’t fight your way out of a paper bag and you’re commanding armies or are supposed to be a knight or whatever. That’s all so King Arthur. I wanted to be the guy who my men could look to and say: ‘Yeah, I would follow him.’ And the audience would look at him and think: ‘Yeah, I can see why they would follow him into battle.’ And then finally, that I would be…

I guess you’re happy if you have some kind of balance in you. I’m a human being. I have days when I feel paralyzed, days when I feel like a slug. Then I have days when I have good energy, I’ve read the newspaper and I’ve done different things.

I still really love acting. I find it really challenging. And I really love film; it’s a lot of fun. Theater is a big commitment. Most of the time, you sign a five-month contract. You do eight shows a week and have one day off. There’s no time to go home.

I love general history. That’s all I read really. I don’t read novels, I read history. I love it. I live in an area that’s really rich in Civil War history. I live in Kentucky on a farm. A lot of revolution, a lot of military history I love. I like micro-histories. I like reading about little tiny events, not huge. I read a lot. I live in horse country and I just read a book about Confederate…

[on why he left Law & Order (1990)]: “‘Law and Order’ is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you’re an actor, you’re bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me. But you need a job, and I felt awfully blessed to be in New York City and to be doing a show that was considered intelligent in the world of TV. But hey, five years is enough time.”

[2008, on The Godfather: Part III (1990)] That was quite a year, because I wound up doing that role, and I also worked for Woody Allen on Alice (1990). I was shooting both films almost simultaneously. Literally, I would work on Alice (1990), then fly to Italy to work on Godfather, come back to New York, work on Alice (1990) again. Then Godfather came back to the States and I worked on that again. So that was a real productive year, 1989-1990.
