I have never been in a natural place and felt that it was a waste of time. I never have. And it's a relief. If I'm walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile.

I've never had a problem with people paying attention to what you're doing and say they find that they liked it.

Sometimes you look at a movie and you can see that the actor or actress said, 'I'm taking this onboard because I'm making a ton of money, and not because it's going to be something special.'

It doesn't take that many years for a kid to realise that they're going to die. It's always there in the back of their mind the rest of their lives.

You know, Freud accepted his lot very stoically and very well and with a sense of humor. He aged and died gracefully, and there's a lot to be said for that.

It's just like with people. You're going to get along better working with them - human or equine - if you ask politely rather than demand that they do things.

In the end, the actor's main power is the power to say, 'No.'
