I kind of have a dilettantish spirit about me

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

But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.

I kind of dwindled into acting.

Then I realized that to be really good at this requires a lot of energy and concentration and skill.

Nothing gets a bigger laugh than when you refer to things like ethics or human rights.
