I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.

Like most people - unless they're very practised at it or have no warm blood at all in their veins - I feel a little apprehensive about the red carpet. It's always a bit bewildering when people are taking pictures and asking questions before the ceremony.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is.

You see people on the street yelling and think they're crazy, but maybe they're just happy and expressing what they feel at all times.

The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.

I pursue the things I do because I'm interested in them.

I like the detail work of telling a story in small pieces, as is done in movie-making, and also the long leap of faith needed to see a theatre performance through each night. Both require focus and self-discipline.
