Talent is an accident of genes, and a responsibility.

Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.

I have a love/hate relationship with white silk.

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
