I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.

Many people associate stage fright with a fear of looking ridiculous, making a bad impression. For me, it's like a kind of fever.

I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.

To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.

If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.

In these days people take up with each other and drop each other too easily. Pleasure is practiced like a sport, and the easy game of love leads to the dissolution of the feeling of love.
