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.

Give me a window and I'll stare out it.

In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.

The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic; the actor doesn't.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.

The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
