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

I think if I were to go back on stage I might be in great danger of acting.

I think I'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.

We are adjusters. We empathize, we change rhythm and above all we listen to our fellow actors-if they're good actors.

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!

I do believe female directors, as well as our female writer, can bring out male vulnerability that some men can't because they can't face it.

I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.
