I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process

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

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'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.

But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.

David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.

I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
