I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.

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

I've been very lucky.

I became conflicted in my late teens.

Actors should never give interviews.

I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.

I don't torture myself. And I do the work because of the pleasure involved. I'm satisfying a compulsion I find nigh-on irresistible. It's not necessarily because of the work itself. I just feel the need for a period of regeneration afterwards. Like leaving a field fallow when you've grazed too much on it. I feel depleted.
