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

Shakespeare's so bloody difficult, and I don't like failure. You can fail on film, but there's nobody actually there in the flesh to watch you failing.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

You have to be pretty tough to be an actor, and you have to be pretty certain what you want. You can't waffle through this business.

I’m not being cynical, but when you’re doing a movie you have a number of choices as an actor. Then you see it all cut together and all of those precious little pieces you put in are maybe on the cutting room floor. So, you don’t have that much control. You have very little control, in fact.

I've got a great sense of humor.

We're all caught up in circumstances, and we're all good and evil. When you're really hungry, for instance, you'll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing - well, maybe that's too strong - but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance.
