I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same time I know that I have to let it go.

I've been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don't know how good we're going to be received in America because that's where it's most challenging

And I don't want to use my troubles as an example of what to do and what not to do.

I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people

Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.

The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware; this to me is the most astounding fact.

The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done
