My mother was sarcastic and delightful and, trust me, quite remarkable.

I can imagine there is going to come a time when someone will do 13 hours of a story without breaks.

I have always believed that the risk takers are eventually rewarded.

I'm not someone who's led my life trying to get publicity; I'd rather do my work and go home.

Cable TV has become where the best actors, writers and directors have gone to work because they are allowed to do character-driven stories.

I write a lot about my experiences and the people I meet. Ive got a lot of material. But a book about me? It seems sort of odd.

Theatre is organic, film is not. Theatre you come every day and you work with a group of people and you're are all up for it and you all get to do the whole thing every night, be it two hours or three hours. In film you work in two or three minute bits and it's never in chronological order and then someone takes that away and makes it look like it all happened, or that you gave that performance.
