Talking about his role as Prince Philip.
Cromwell:Oh, Jesus, I worked my ass on it. My problem was that you cannot make a mistake when you are playing Philip in one sound, because if you do, the reality goes out the window. (edit)
Talking about his time filming The Queen.
Cromwell: I was very surprised that the overwhelming majority of the people on the set -- how can I put this -- loathed Diana. Diana to them is the worst kind of English person you could possibly be. (edit)
James Cromwell: (In reference to his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Babe) Andy Warhol said everybody gets their 15 minutes of fame. And if this is mine, I couldn't imagine a better 15 minutes. (edit)
