When I did make the decision to focus on acting, I think my mother was just relieved for me that I had finally started to focus.

Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.

I like to learn about things.

It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.

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

I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.

Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.
