Usually in the first performances I'm completely panicked. And I pull myself together. By the time you get to the end of the play, you really start to have fun.

At its best, life is completely unpredictable.

It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.

I do like to work. Some jobs are better than others. That's the thing: You really don't know. I've enjoyed making movies for lots of different reasons. Sometimes, it was the other people. Sometimes, it was the fact that I was really good in it. Sometimes, it was the location. Sometimes, it was the paycheck.

In rehearsal you have a good accident that you can repeat.In the movies if you have a good accident you hope the camera's running.

I suppose in order to succeed at something you have to be very persistent. I've never done that.

I don't think I'd be a good director because people would ask me, you know, "What is it? What's going on here? Where should I put the camera?" Or, "What's my motivation?" And I would say, "Do whatever you want!"
