Not everyone likes watching rushes, but it makes me work harder, and I don't feel I am watching myself, but watching the progression of the character.

This film business, perhaps more so in America than in Europe, has always been about young sexuality. It's not true of theatre, but in America, film audiences are young. It's not an intellectual cinema in America.

Character contributes to beauty.

I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.

Being around people with whom you feel a connection, on many levels, not just a professional one, is very relaxing. Your ears are more open to someone who is not a cantankerous bastard.

I'm a perfectionist. I need to be needed. I need to do things for a man. But I don't need to do them as much, these days.

I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.
