It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.

I was in 20 Shakespearean plays by the time I was 20.

Look at the darkest hit musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - they are exuberant experiences. They send you out of the theater filled with music

I subscribe to the great George G. Scott quote, "All actors are in trouble. Directors who don't help are a pain in the ass". We all need help from directors. We are all equally insecure.

That's how you deal with stardom; you make it the least important part of your life.

You kill three people, they call you a murderer. You kill a million people, they call you a conqueror. Go figure.

Growing up I didn't want to be an actor. I sort of didn't want to go into the family business; the main reason being there was something I wanted to do far more, which was be an artist.
