I'd always felt very strongly in the power of vocation.

When I do work, I feel the same sort of urgency as I ever did. If I didn't feel that, I don't think I would wish to be doing it. I wouldn't really see the point.

I would like to have children while I've still got the energy. But then I have the feeling that when I have children I'll stop performing in the same way, because you don't really need to perform if you have children.

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

I think some actors thrive on working at a much greater pace than I do.

At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.

I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.
