I try not to look for messages in films.

There's a lot of ignorance in our business... Everybody's an authority. To have your own vision is rewarding.

You just can't take a crash course to be a tango dancer in a movie.

You gotta be careful with message movies. People say "What do you want people to take away from it?" I always say its totally individual.

I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.

I don't have many people showing up at my door. Very few people come out. When they do, I get a little suspicious. I live way up on a hill, way, way back in the country.

When you dance tango fast, you have to think slow.
