I became conflicted in my late teens.

Acting is about people. Other people. Otherwise, you're not acting, you're doing monologues.

I depleted myself to the point where I had nothing left.

Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.

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 never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.

I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
