I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.

I would like to have children while I've still got the energy. But then I have the feeling that when I have children I'll stop performing in the same way, because you don't really need to perform if you have children.

Leaving a role is a terrible sadness. The last day of the shooting is surreal. Your soul, your body and your mind are not ready at all to see the end of this experience. In the following months after a film shoot, one feels a deep sense of void.

I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.

I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.

If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw and my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake... I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!

I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.
