I don't have any ambition to make lots of money or win an Oscar or anything like that. It's not about that for me.

I've gone on workout regimes, but I seem to have a system that is very resistant to changing.

I love the characters I've had the opportunity to play.

Dustin Hoffman takes such pleasure in what he does and there's nothing tense about him. He exudes joy and passion for what he's doing and that infects everyone. It certainly put me at ease coming to work with him every day. I felt his confidence and freedom rubbed off. He doesn't censor himself or stop an idea because he thinks it might be wrong.

I would have loved to have been a painter or a sculptor. I'm still fascinated by those things.

It's fun to pretend you're good at something you know you wouldn't be good at in real life.

I always feel I am in the dark. You are never finished... it is not as if you can look back and think: ah... I know what I am talking about. You are only as good as your last job and are always struggling and striving and you never quite get to where you want to be.
