You don't throw away a whole life just because it's banged up a little.

As a rule it usually takes three or four readings for me to be interested in a script, and if I'm interested I'll read it three or four times before I make a strong decision

When I feel like I'm doing my best work, there is a bit of a freedom, a bit of flight that you're not so much losing yourself but you're sort of in the zone.

You jot down ideas, memories, whatever, concerning your real life that somehow parallels the character you're playing, and you incorporate that in your scene work.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on

I don't want to go bald, I don't know what's coming up next.

It's not the size of the hard drive that counts, it's how you download it.
