I went out to Mount Kilimanjaro, which I thought was very beautiful, but there were a lot of people there.

And although I've been very fortunate in the film work that's come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I'm away for a maximum of two years, I feel something's wrong.

If I had a gun to my head and I had to choose between theater and film I'd choose theater.

Performance is made in the editing room, and I've come to see the truth in that - the idea that they say performances are usually made in the editing room because what you film is the raw material. I think just going through the process of saying, "Which take do we use? Why is that the take we want? I want that take can you edit again, I'm not sure that's the one, I think it's this one." And just because you go through that process, I think somehow it's made me sort of more open about the [actor's] possibilities.

I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something.

I'm sure acting is a deeply neurotic thing to do.

Awards are like applause, and every actor likes to hear applause.
