I tried so hard with movies like Vertigo and Middle of the Night and others. I felt those would show me that it's only a matter of time before I'd find the right one to reach out and touch people.

We only did probably two, three takes on every scene we did, at the most.

I was always opinionated.

If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.

I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.

I don't think you want to give all the answers, but I think every answer you do give should bring up another question, and not all questions should be answered.

My security comes from my senses, my sensing the direction I should go and suddenly I felt out of tune, out of step with what other people wanted or what other people expected of me.
