Shoes are strange things. If you take your shoes off in a situation in which you're vulnerable, you'll feel 10 times more vulnerable.

I suppose it's a very highly developed form of denial, but some part of me completely denies that I'm a performer.

I hate wasting people's time.

Germans don't speak in a German accent, they just speak German.

For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.

I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.

I'm not keen on history being tampered with... to any extent.
