You should not separate your life from what you do.

I could live without acting.... Acting is a gift I've received. And I'm grateful for it and I enjoy it. But it's not the main point of my life. It never was.

It's a fantastic thing to take the risk of getting so close to your desire, expressing your obsession so absolutely.

Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.

I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.

Life has to flow. But if you start worrying about it, you block time.

My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.
