Quote: ?That's the thing about Brits ? they have the grounding in the classics and theatre, ... That's why we're good. We go to America and people respect that because we've been through the theatre, we've made discoveries and also made our mistakes there, and that's a wonderful environment to be in. By the time you start to make television and films you've got some experience behind you, an anchor. All those things, when you put them together, give you a certain amount of confidence and a certain belief in yourself, and the ability to adapt and change to some of the different roles you play. You need to be a good actor to play a villain, and we're always getting cast as villains because we play them well.? [Sean Bean]

I'm not very good with stuff like that, computers and games... Just something I'm not very good at. My daughters, they know all about it, which is quite good [for] our audience.? [Sean Bean]
