I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It's a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen.

There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.

They're a very strange lot actors, very strange people.

I think that most actors attempt to keep in touch with the child.

I think the actor has a tribal role as the archetypal story teller. I think there was a time when the storyteller, the priest, the healer, were all one person in one body. That person used to weave stories at night around a small fire to keep the tribe from being terrified that sun had gone down.

I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain.

I don't honestly think people know what acting is.
