I'm a better person when I'm preparing for a role, when I'm studying a role.

There is no normal life, there's just life. You live it.

That's the joy of art - it should be dangerous and challenging but it's just art - it's safe.

Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.

So it`s always helped me to have a foundation, an ideal to strive for and goals. It`s hard for me to be disciplined and plan things.

It's important to be yourself. What art does for everyone, helps you understand yourself and in a distilled way, whether it's a painting or a scene in acting or a joke. It distills something about everyday life that can be important to you.

Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.
