When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.

I've met quite a number of people in my career, but I do have an extraordinary memory. And even though they may drift into the periphery of my memory, I can bring them right back when I need them.

Working in film, if you work with great directors, you learn that after every take you must let go. Sitting with my wife at the Academy Awards, we both let the moment just go.

I'm very in love with the fact that the camera is revolted by acting and loves behaviour.

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

If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.

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