I Am Confident Only When I Am

I Aspire To Be An Instrument Of The Director. I'm Happiest Like That. The Stronger The Director, The More I'm Willing To Give Them. It's Not Just About Admiration For Their Films, It's How They Deal With You, And Whether They Get You Or The Way You Work. If They Don't, You Better Adjust Your Way Of Working To Suit Them. I Want To Work With People Who Are Good At What They Do, And People Who Are Passionate. As You Get Older, You Suffer Fools Less Easily. That's Why There's All Those Cranky Character Actors. I'm An Exception. I'm A Sweetheart.

I've Been In Very Few Flat-out Comedies. But I Feel Like I've Always Made Comedies.

In Films You Do A Scene, You Play Around With It And Unless You're Doing A Lot Of Reshooting, Which No One Has The Luxury To Do, You Deal With The Problem For A Day And Then You Move On. On Some Level, It Never Allows You To Go Very Deep Into What Performing Is About.

Mounting Those Red Stairs [in Cannes] Is Something I've Done With A Very Different Intention Many Times. So It's Interesting Any Time You Witness Those Shifts Of Perspective. The Beach Scenes Were Also Fun. It Felt Very Strange And Very Theatrical To Kind Of Commandeer It And Have La Mer Booming Over The Speakers.

Film Is Fragmented And Gets Into Lots Of Other People's Hands. There Are A Lot Of Pleasures That Theatre Gives Me. You Get To Perform Uninterrupted.
