Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.

I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

I like it when stories are left open.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

Acting is mostly about listening. If you just focus in on what the other person is saying, acting takes care of itself to quite a large extent.

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.
