Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

What's really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement.

The art is about opening, it is not about prejudice, it is not about contempt prior to investigation. It's about endlessly trying to keep from having contempt by admitting that you don't know. Even if you know a lot compared to some other people, usually, I think, the honest experience would be: "God, how little I know! And how much I need to have compassion for myself and for other people."

Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure

The Alexander Technique has helped me to undo knots, unblock energy and deal with almost paralysing stage fright

The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing, which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being.

People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.
