When I started performing, I decided that if in five years I couldn't earn as much money acting as I could as a teacher, it would be unrealistic for me to continue on the stage.

Theater is an engagement between the actor and the audience. Film is a different sort of medium. It's not immediate, but in some ways it's more involving.

I have played a few lay saints in my time.

I think goodness is very powerful, but often evil is made more attractive in films. It's a challenge to make goodness appealing.

I was brought up a Catholic, so I suppose I have to believe in the goodness of human beings. I think we're not so bad after all.

We all think we're liberated when we have more of everything, don't we? That's what the media tell us.
