I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

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

It is intensely frustrating. The longer you live, the more interesting life gets, and yet many of the parts involve carrying trays and putting lamb chops down in front of the leading man.

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

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

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.'

Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.
