Living with reality is a very good trick, it gives you tremendous freedom and it changes the structure of the molecules of your soul by living with reality because you don't expect anything anymore. Which is a weird paradox.

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.

We're all different. Some people are musicians, some people are actors, some people are agents and some people are accountants... We're all different.

Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.

I love to have a laugh. I like to tease people.

I don't know what acting is, but I enjoy it.

My father wasn't a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher - one of those Victorians, hard as iron - but my dad was tough enough.
