I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

Actors should never give interviews.

I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.

Films exhaust me, they do, and I often want nothing more to do with them, but I'm continually surprised at the resurgence of the impulse to come back and do it all over again.

I'm very often still very much alive for that other being and that other world long after the film is finished.
