Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing

When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.

How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don't?

As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'

When I do work, I feel the same sort of urgency as I ever did. If I didn't feel that, I don't think I would wish to be doing it. I wouldn't really see the point.

The greater your powers of self-delusion, the greater will be the apparent efficacy of this untruth.

I hate wasting people's time.
