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

I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.

I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.

I don't feel my son should pay the price for what I do.

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.

You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.

Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
