Leaving a role is a terrible sadness. The last day of the shooting is surreal. Your soul, your body and your mind are not ready at all to see the end of this experience. In the following months after a film shoot, one feels a deep sense of void.

I find it easier to work when it's quiet.

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.

The more articulate somebody is, the more suspicious I am of them. I like to feel that the important things remain unsaid.

The last time I was on a small set would've been probably My Left Foot.

I don't know what impression you might have of the way I live. I live in a quiet place. I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did.

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.
