I have always felt the basis of everything in life is sexual, and I will maintain that to my dying day

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.

But when I was seven or eight, I did my first little piece of acting.

I have a good friend who says, "We're all just dodging bullets." It seems to me the trick to living a good life is to try to move away from the gun you turn on yourself.

The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love

I watch actors destroy themselves by trying to get it right.

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.
