I am not one of those actors who believes he has to live the part he is playing. I can turn it on and off.

I'm the sort of actor who likes to talk about what we're going to do.

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.

I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.

The process of building a part doesn't really stop.

Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.

I believe you can frighten people without showing their heads caved-in.
