I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.

It's always very strange to have your life dramatized because it never happens like that. Things will be different.

I get plenty of time to re-engage with the world I'm trying to depict, so I'm not always living in these parallel worlds.

Certainly for my father, there were great times, good times, not-so-good times. He might be shooting a Fellini film for six months, then not working for two months. I'm used to that dynamic.

There's not a huge pile of scripts at home. It's what happens to be on the table at that moment with your availability. And then you have no control over when these things come out.

There are far more good actors than there are jobs for them, so it's a big question of luck.

We're interested by public personas and private personas, otherwise we wouldn't put on with actors rambling on with the same kind of stuff, over and over again, saying variations of the same thing. I'm always amazed by how fascinated people still are by actors because it's the same version of events that actors describe, all the time.
