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.

If you have high expectations you're going to get resentments and all kinds of tension.

If you're in a successful play and the play is working well - I mean successful because the audiences like it, the audiences respond well - it's a pleasure.

I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.

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 became an actor because I didn't know what else to do. Academically, I wasn't good.

I never make conscious decisions.
