If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.

I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.

When you do a really good play, the audience and the performers are looking into the same looking glass, the same microscope. And the specimen they are looking at is human life and that's why I do it, that's why I like it.

I love to watch good actors who surprise and amuse me.

What you really need to build a character is exactly what you don't have in the movies - time. You know, movies are like a line drawing. You have to make very quick decisions, which are, in the end instinctive. Or you make a decision to say "Well, maybe I can do that, because... Oh, that could be irritating after a while, or distracting, etc. etc." Some of it is a matter of time, always.

I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.

Utopia means elsewhere.
