I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.

I suppose that anyone who does any kind of creative work some time in their life - especially as you grow into middle age! - you come to a time where you really question more and more frequently, whether you have anything else to offer. And at its worst, you feel utterly bereft of whatever creative force it takes to do that work.

Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

How people are around a director, it really does affect everything, every detail of the life of the movie.

Actors should never give interviews.

For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.
