I don’t like to rehearse. And I couldn’t understand how you could go through eight weeks of rehearsal, without exhausting every possibility. To the point where, you know, you would just lie gasping on the floor!

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

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 suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.

I'm a warrior when it comes to pursuing roles.

As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.

I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
