Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.

My father was a very contradictory man. I mean, most environmentalists in America in the 1950s - of which there were hardly any - were not... paratroopers. But my father was in the 82nd Airborne, it was just like that.

I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.

I wasn`t really raised to be the type of person to have doubts.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

Art is not disposable. If you want it, you have to hold it and smell it and touch it and read the credits and enjoy it and put it on your wall.

My father could be very distancing. My clearest memory is of him squatting, watering plants for hours and hours at a time, completely silent. He was very self-contained; my mother was more outgoing and chatty and social. I'm certainly more like her.
