Now in my theater training I showed no aptitude at all.

We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.

The great thing about acting is, because you're constantly playing other characters and exploring yourself because you have to find those other characters in yourself, you sort of broaden as a person over your life because you've been other people. So you can empathize with many different sorts of people. It's great in that way and I hope, therefore, as you get older as an actor, you not only get more interesting because you lived more, but you get a bit wiser as a person.

I've actually always been fussy about the work I do.

When it seems that someone has shattered your dreams....pick up even the smallest of pieces and use them to build bigger and better dreams.

I try to avoid doing movies where I act with tennis balls. It's ultimately incredibly tedious.

One always returns to the fact that there are just too many of us, the population continues to rise and it's unsustainable.
