Periodically over the years I've always taken periods of time away from acting.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

I avoid talking about the way I work. But in avoiding it I seem only to have encouraged people to focus their fantasies about me in an ever more fantastical way on the details that are not at all at the centre of the work.

I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.

I became conflicted in my late teens.

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.

I think some actors thrive on working at a much greater pace than I do.
