A lot of acting is private time.

Shakespeare's plays are more violent than 'Scarface.'

I found out how temperamental I am, yes. And that sometimes that can be kind of off-putting.

You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

You don't get to know anybody in a movie until after it's over. You work less together in a film than you do onstage.

I personally think if you're given four months instead of four weeks on a play, with the people who want to work that way, the play will invariably be different and stronger, and much more fulfilling and richer on all counts. There's no doubt in my mind about it.

The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
