Acting is an everlasting search for truth.

You must have - besides intuition and sensitivity - a cutting edge that allows you to reach what you need. Also, you have to know life - bastards included - and it takes a bit of one to know one, don't you think?

I'm rather bored by the subject - meaning me. It's a sort of a yoke, but at times you know, a yoke is a kind of comfort. And it's always there.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

The humility to prepare and the self-confidence to bring it off.

Work is life for me, it is the only point of life - and with it there is almost religious belief that service is everything.

What is the main problem of the actor? It is to keep the audience awake, and not let them go to sleep, then wake up and go home feeling they've wasted their money.
