If I can laugh, I can live.

To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible

What I do is based on powers we all have inside us; the ability to endure; the ability to love, to carry on, to make the best of what we have - and you don't have to be a 'Superman' to do it.

The bigger the canvas, the better I do. I'm not so good at understated, kitchen-sink kinds of parts.

Maybe one way I am original is that at heart I really am a classical actor. I haven't had my chance yet in the commercial world to show that. Movies aren't really made about classical people so much any more.

Pain is inevitable. Misery is a choice.
