I wanted to be a musician but I didn't have the talent for it, so I decided I wanted to be famous, so I became an actor.

Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script.

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

I know that the arts are important. I'm not denying that, but I can't associate myself with all the claptrap that goes on around it.

I thought I did play one villain, Hitler, [who is] like Lecter in some ways, but he's a mythical figure, anyway.

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.

That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.
