Time is a precious thing. Never waste it.

My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.This was said by gene wilder ... what does it mean ?

The big catalyst was seeing my sister, when I was 11, doing a dramatic recital. When I saw her on the stage and everyone listening to her so patiently, quietly, that's all I wanted: for someone to look at me and listen to me, but in some beautiful and artistic way.

Actors fall into this trap if they missed being loved for who they really were and not for what they could do - sing, dance, joke about - then they take that as love.
