I take praise as not just a reward and a result but also as the beginning of a new process.

I’m not really all that familiar with comic book culture.

What it really is and what I now have experienced is that, people who take enormous pride in what they're doing - not in their person - that their work ethos is as high as nowhere else.That they love their jobs, they love to do their jobs properly as best they can. And coupled with the financial umph, you know, you get decent results.

It's the economics, that's why opera is not dying but gets more and more difficult to put on.

To be fair, on a good project, no matter whether it's improvised or scripted or meticulously prepared, or all up for grabs, it's always, always beyond the safety zone. Every project becomes interesting and exciting once you move beyond that routine. You always aspire to that. It's not that this improvisational mode is the only mode that facilitates that.

My agent is the quickest, sharpest man on earth.

You know, I don't support esoteric approaches to acting.
