Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.

I think I missed all of the wonderful things ... I missed the control that you have in film, and I missed getting it right, really getting it right, the way you hope people will see it. All of the things that people love about theater - the fact that it changes every night and that it's so spontaneous - all of those things just frighten me.

Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.

What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? The answer is always creativity; the answer is always art.
