I was immature the way I handled the business. I saw myself as a tribune of the people.

If you don't think you want to go on a train and read the paper every day and work from nine to six at night, there was something about the uncertainty when I was younger which was very attractive

I think you have an obligation to be an optimist. Because if you're not, nothing will change

I saw and I met a lot of people who were in the field. It also provided a context in which I came to respect what the actor did, because I saw how difficult it actually was to do.

Nobody has a franchise on what is good.

I kind of have a dilettantish spirit about me

I kind of dwindled into acting.
