If you don't follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.

I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

I spent two years in the military service, then I trudged around in repertory for quite a while. I somehow wound up at the National Theatre, though, and then I was definitely on my way.

It created in me a yearning for all that is wide and open and expansive. Something that will never allow me to fit in in my own country, with its narrow towns and narrow roads and narrow kindnesses and narrow reprimands.

Non-expectation and acceptance. Because expectation leads to resentment and depression, so I have no expectations.

I'm not a health freak. I just work out every day.

Working with Katherine Hepburn, she said to me, "Don't act." She said, "Read the lines. Just be. Just speak the lines." I said, "Okay." She said, "You look good. You got a good pair of shoulders, you got a good head, good face."
