Marriages had different meanings back then than they do now, they were used to cement agreements between families, business deals and things like that. The idea of marriages being arranged for love is some sort of modern idea, really.

Very few movies I've done I regret being involved in.

People are fascinated by evil because it's mysterious and it doesn't seem to have a rational behind it.

I think you always learn something in every character you play onstage, either personally or creatively.

I thought if I went somewhere where I didn't know anybody and they didn't know me I could start all over again.

If you want to do your version, go off and write it. You bring your knowledge to it, and you can use that to shape it and color it, but it's someone else's version of that character. You're not actually playing the real person.

I keep mementos from everything I've done.
