I'd done "Gosford Park," a film that Julian Fellowes had written that Robert Altman directed.

Try not to cry too much because it can be pretty heart-breaking and pretty hard.

I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone.

I said 'It can't go on' and he said 'No, it can't.' Honestly, I don't think I could have mattered less to him by then. But by then, nothing mattered to him.

I think he [Leonardo DiCaprio] is a terrific actor. And I've - I've been rooting and voting for him since "Gilbert Grape." I thought he was so amazing in that one. He was a young man, really very young boy.

It's easy to get bogged down in bad news.

The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
