At my age, you sort of fart your way into a role.

To them though, not to us, we were just a catalyst for their imagination.

I have no idea. I get involved because I think there's value in the project and because I love the character that is presented to me. I love the opportunity to examine a character, and to have him examine me, live inside me and move my hands. I love that. It's irresistible. It's a drug.

When I do a film, the days before or the night before, I throw up. Sometimes it's just in my mouth and I swallow it back, but sometimes it's real. Whatever it is, it's hard. I don't do the first five or ten minutes of my character's appearance in a movie until the middle of the shooting schedule because I don't want him to be defined by my nervousness. So, we do the middle of the picture first.

Well, I was always cast as an artistic homicidal maniac. But at least I was artistic!

When the camera starts to roll, there is something of death about it.

Fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth.
