For Me Really Good Acting Is About

Kids Before They're 7 Or 8 Are Like Little Manic Obsessives. They Become Completely Hooked On Things And They're Slightly Crazy.

If You Are Making A Script Based On A Book It Can Be Frustrating Going Back To The Source Novel, Because You're Turning The Story Into A Totally Different Thing; The Narrative Of Film Is Different From That Of A Book.

Film Is Very Much About Capturing The Essence Of Things - If You Feel It, And You've Got The Right Person Shooting It, It'll Come Across. Theater's A Different Animal; It's Physically Different And Requires A Different Discipline. In The Theater, You're Mining The Same Material, Constantly Honing The Same Thing, Executing It And Keeping It Alive And Fresh.

I Think It's Dangerous To Get Into Ideas Of Planning Careers.

Outside Of Being Home With My Family, I Prefer A Crowd.
