That to me is what my idea of film acting should be. There shouldn't be any acting. You should just be watching a real person.

Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them

I'd never been in one of those great big blockbusters.

I'm a frustrated stand-up comic. If you hand me a microphone and I get one laugh, then I'll go on for 20 minutes.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners; I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.

I just try to play more and more difficult roles.
