When I started in the theater, the joy for me was playing different parts, and I get set alight by different people and different worlds. The biggest joy for me is jumping around and going from that to this to that, never feeling that I'm any one thing - because I'm not, and we as people aren't.

Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.

I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.

After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in 'Romeo and Juliet.' I played Romeo.

When I look back, if I'd played something differently, it might not have gone the way it did. So I don't feel like going back to my twenties and changing anything.

You come ready to work when you know that you are going to get a couple of gos and it. It kind of galvanizes everything and there is something about it that keeps it very alive.

Audiences can be very judgmental.
