I often don't feel like the person I look like.

If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.

I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.

I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.

I have quite a robust relationship with regret. You simply don't know what the alternative would have been.
