I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

I am the character you are not supposed to like.
