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

And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it's not you going through it.

If I spent all my time criticising myself, I wouldn't be able to function. There are actors who theorise till the cows come home. I haven't the patience for them. It's maybe shallow, but that's why I'll never be part of the acting set.

I was trundling around with my inadequacies, and inner pain and loneliness. I yearned, desperately, to be something. I yearned to get out from where I was ... some deep discontent within myself, actually some deep dislike of myself.

I've been very lucky. I've had my problems in the past, I've had my troubles, but you move on. I had a great life and I am really thankful for it.

My life is not my own business.

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