I kind of have a dilettantish spirit about me

Artists speak the truth to the public without fear of retribution or damage to their careers.

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.

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

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 had no desire from an early age to be on the stage.
