Being a late bloomer, I really didn't have any interest in children until my late 30s, but I'm so happy I didn't go through life without that experience.

People want to typecast you; it's human nature.

I enjoy directing, but I really like acting more. The idea of controlling the whole thing is not something that really appeals to me as much as being able to just control the world of the character that I'm dealing with.

I look for characters who are emotionally driven.

Actors, it's very hard for them to make value judgments when they play characters. It's very dangerous if you start thinking of yourself as a bad guy.

My objective was to have as varied a selection of roles as possible. It probably did hurt my career.

I wanted to be Laurence Olivier, basically, to be a great classical actor, and also be able to do modern things.
