You cant please all the people all the time.

I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.

The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.

I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.

It's difficult to keep in touch with someone when you're moving around all the time. I've decided that you can have it all, but you can't have it all, all of the time.

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.

I wouldn't want to go back to my 20s; they were pretty angst-laden times.
