Any project that I find encouraging that isn't attached to a studio, I can go to them, which I definitely would. You have to take an interest in what you do.

I want to be interesting in an interview just as much as I want to do well in a part.

Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.

Is it possible to do something that that makes an audience uncomfortable, challenges them, makes them see things they're not used to? Here in these films [Salome the play and Salomaybe], I have the opportunity to say something about how I feel about things.

[Salomaybe] is my presentation, my vision of the world. Not so much to satisfy the audience at large.

My movies are always being played on television, I'm very well known and all that stuff - I go all over the world, I have access to many things, many people, many places and it's wonderful. But now I'm at a point where...I thought it was time to show some of it, to show some of my feelings about things and what I preferred at the time. I prefer them still but not to the extent I did at the time.

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