I am drawn to characters that go on journeys, characters that are real people, that have life.

I've had very close relationships with some twentieth-century writers.

Some people will never change.

I don't tell everyone my life history because if everyone knows your inside-leg measurement, how can you surprise them?

When you play someone who is an iconic figure you can't go into it lightly.

Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.

Acting attracts shy people and show-offs.
