When I perform on stage, you have to remember my performance or buy another ticket to the party! In television and film, you can see it over and over again.

If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.

Middle-class people are becoming desperate. It can cause a moral man to break bad.

I can only control what I do. I can try to suggest and be open, but trust is the key.

Many times - especially when I'm playing an historical character - I want to be really on target with how I create that character and really nuanced with who that human being might be. But I don't want to lose the likeness of me or the depth of my own personality. So meditation and my spirituality has helped me to realize that, yes, I want to get out of the way but I also want the ability to hold on to what the audience likes of what they see of me.

Yoga has allowed me to bring my complete spirit together, which allows me to do less, which is more.

I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.
