By giving up 'the need' and 'the want', things begin to happen for you

I worked with Steven Spielberg on Amistad... he seemed so very secure in himself that he let me do things.

I think doubt is a very healthy way to live.

I've got no need to prove to myself that I can do Shakespeare. I've done it.

In the theatre, people talk. Talk, talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.

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 am young! Being creative and keeping your brain occupied is very sensible because if you don't you die, slowly.
