I’ve been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who’s inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I’ve had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes – mountains and water and flowers and birds.

All the pictures in magazines and all of that is fun but in the end it's all about your soul and who you are and have you connected with the people.

I wouldn't say that I'm overly religious, but I have a pretty good relationship with my spiritual being.

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.

I believe I have a lot to learn in life, still.

I find that actors who are wanting to pursue tv or films don't seem to have much interest in classical theatre.

Because I've always been more afraid of writing than I have of doing anything visually such as directing or acting.
