Many actors will try something different once, but if it isn't a box office success they'll never do it again. In my opinion, there's no point in going on with this job if you do the same thing over and over again.

I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

There's only two people in your life you should lie to... the police and your girlfriend.

Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.

I'm a New Wave baby, so I got very stimulated by foreign film.

In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.
