I Need My Friends, I Need My

I Like The Personality Of The Belgians. They're Deeply Eccentric, Which Is Something That Comes Across In Their Design - Terrific.

If You Only Took On Roles That Had The Same Qualities, Then I Suppose It Might Make A Critic Feel Better, If He Can See Some Kind Of Bedrock. Perhaps That's The Old Definition Of A Star, Someone Who's Always Going To Come Up With The Same Goods. But It Intimates Limitation To Me And I Don't Want To Think Of The Job Like That.

It's A Wonderful Profession, And It Opens Lots Of Doors, And I Think It's Quite Right That People Can Accuse Actors And Actresses Of Being Dilettante, But You Learn On Every Job, Whatever It Is, The Process Moves You On In Some Way, And Yeah, I Want To Expand My Knowledge Of Our Existence, I Suppose.

I Like People To Be Surprised By The Turn Of Events. I Don't Want Things Just To Be Pat And Formulaic. If There's Some Sort Of Internal Combustion In The Character Or A Desire To Change The Way Things Are Going, That Makes For Conflict, Which Is The Essence Of Drama.

The Writing Is The Springboard For Your Intuitive Stuff And Then You See, Maybe A Colour Of What You Want To Achieve. Then You Bring In The Technique You've Learnt. But When You're On Film, You're Not Always In Control Of That. That's What Makes Me Believe In A Kind Of Collective Unconscious, A Sort Of Experience You Draw On.
