I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

Sometimes what we imagine and the world aren't different things. Sometimes they are the same exact thing.

I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.

I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.

The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.
