I haven't got a writer's discipline.

We've all got a black book of missed opportunities.

I think we all have a selfish gene which rises to the top, sometimes. But then we're also all capable of a sudden magnanimity.

I'm not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.

The films I enjoy seeing are those that reveal lives I was unaware of... in different cultures or whatever.

It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.

We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.
