The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!

The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out.

When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.

All the great writers root their characters in true human behaviour.

Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.

Once I start painting, once I start acting and working, it's not a holiday. It's not a respite, but it is, in a sense, a balance, but it's of equal weight. It's a balance; it does balance out.
