As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.

My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.

I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.

Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.

A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.

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.

I'm a warrior when it comes to pursuing roles.
