Acting's entertainment. It's not brain surgery.

The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.

The reward is in the doing of it.

My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

I don't have many friends; I'm very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated and I've never been really close to anyone.

I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

There's no truth in acting, it's all a trick, because you go on stage in front of sets, you're on film - it's all a trick. I'm making it sound very - I really am demystifying it, but what I try to do, what I do, and I hope effectively, is to create a reality as if it is happening now, that you're fishing for words out of the air.
