I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.

It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.

I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.

If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character

I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out

David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.

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.
