If you go away on location for three months and your wife stays at home, you've made a whole new load of friends and she's made a whole new load of friends and you get home and you're kind of strangers.

I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.

I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.

I learn the whole time. I think it would be dull if I thought I was going to work and wouldn't find something new. We always learn.

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.

God willing, even I might scrape a nomination.

You don't retire from the movies. The movies retire you.
