If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.

I love to watch good actors who surprise and amuse me.

When you do a really good play, the audience and the performers are looking into the same looking glass, the same microscope. And the specimen they are looking at is human life and that's why I do it, that's why I like it.

I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.

The world is ruled by violence, or at least the imminent threat of violence. It always has been.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
