I've made my peace with being in the spotlight, definitely.

With TV, the most important thing is just to get people to turn it on.

Writers would hate me saying this, and I love words, but I have to say that cinema exists, on one level, for the power of the big image and what that image does.

It could be a stupid thing to say, but people should realize that it is easy to get concerned about yourself and to lose contact.

Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time.

The talent of the people in Brazil was extraordinary. I thought all of the hair and make-up was really fantastic. The aesthetic there is really something to behold. They just have such a great sense of taste.

I think film likes me better than the theatre does for some reason.
