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.

It never occurred to me to be an actor.

I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.

I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.

I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.

Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.
