Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.

The bad thing about being with an actor is that the role he's in stays with him all the time. The good thing about being with an actor - well, I can't think of any good thing.

The whole world is waiting. The whole world needs you.

I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.

The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.

The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.

I am such a notorious hermit - almost pathological. And, I'm not a hoarder. But that's just a symptom of things that I do feel.
