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.

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

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.

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

I'm thrilled with my body of 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

You must survive with grace. You must do so gallantly. How archaic these terms seem to us in our modern world. There is little grace or gallantry in commerce or politics and not much in art.
