I love films. If I'd known how to get into or do it from the word go, I would have done that.

There was a moment in the early '80s when I wanted to work on films and wanted to live in L.A.

I like L.A., but I think whats changed is that the kinds of films I do, the mid-range dramatic film, has become an endangered species.

I'm ashamed to say the first play I saw at the Royal Court was mine.

You see, I always divide people into two groups. Those who live by what they know to be a lie, and those who live by what they believe, falsely, to be the truth.

I think there's something degrading about having a husband for a rival. It's humiliating if you fail and commonplace if you succeed.

To seduce a woman famous for strict morals, religious fervor and the happiness of her marriage: what could possibly be more prestigious?
