I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.

You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.

If I hear a film clip, or I happen to see some image from a film - you go to a film festival, and they show some clip of the movies you've been in, most of the time I sit there and go, "Oh God, I should have... should have... that was terrible." But I think that's a natural part of this work, because really, your work is never over. Of course I can leave it alone and walk off the set and never think about it again when it's done. But your work is really ongoing all the time.

My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.

I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm not treating patients.

The one natural gift I have is easy access. That's the only natural I gift I have at all. You have to have that, the third eye.

You can't take a play someone has directed and do whatever you want with it.
