When you play someone who is an iconic figure you can't go into it lightly.
Acting attracts shy people and show-offs.
People in distress behave in a stressful way. They aren't all sweetness and light. They don't behave well when they are unhappy. That's just what I've observed.
I've had very close relationships with some twentieth-century writers.
You need to keep on doing things you have never done before in your career. You have to have a go.
The trouble with anyone when they're unhappy or in a relationship they recognize is not working but don't know what to do about is that they can't see farther out than that. If the relationship is not working, if what was there isn't there anymore, you have to do something about it.
