I don't think anyone could ever be wholly satisfied with their performance.

You're always a bit blind. If you look at stuff a few years later, you get a more objective look at it.

You always think, "Oh, I'm sure I could have done that better." But generally speaking, I am very proud of this.

Every now and then, I feel terribly uncomfortable with what I'm working on, and then I think maybe I am an artist. I'm not very articulate about it, but I do know that you have to follow your gut.

The danger with playing a part that defines you is that it swallows up everything else.

I'm unhappy as Dylan Thomas was, because I'm not, but I've had my brushes with sadness.

If you have a great part, you have the opportunity to give a good performance. The greatest actors get the best parts, and the best parts make the greatest actors. There are plenty of people who are as talented, who just never got the part.
