How do you play Hannibal Lector? Well just don't move. Scare people by being still.

I always liked to take the plunge, you know, I'd jump in at the deep end and hope that I'd find land somehow, or hope I'd float or survive. That's more or less the way I've gone through my life.

When I direct I try to keep it a unique design of my own. Naturally you're influenced.

I've always been hopeless at everything when I was a kid. That's why I became an actor - 'cause I couldn't do anything else.

We have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fingers active.

I love life because what more is there?

When you're younger you have so many ideas about yourself; everything is important. It's not when you look back, nothing is that important. It's only life.
