When I closed in "King Lear" I went into a period of depression for about three weeks, and every actor I've talked to who's ever played a major, major Shakespeare role has done this.

I'm a firm believer in absolute honesty.

I would rather spend one night with Dracula dead than with my husband alive.

Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.

I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.

Theres a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a mans change of life.

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.
