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

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.

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.

Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.

It must be hard interviewing actors.
