There are many secrets in us, in the depths of our souls, that we don't want anyone to know about.

There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.

I can't count how many of my friends are in the cemetery at Normandy, the heroes are still there, the real heroes.

That place that no one knows about - horrifying things we keep secret. A lot of that is released through acting.

I would rather do a play because it's instantaneous. You go on the stage, and you know whether it's happening or not. Somebody asked me 'What is acting?' And I said, 'Acting is listening.' And if you ain't listening, nobody's listening.

You're out there on a high wire without a net, and that's the way actors operate. They have to be fearless about how they work and they have to create a life for the audience in 90 minutes and make them believe.
