I Want To Be A Great Actor

You Need Some Insecurity If You're An Actor. It Keeps The Pot Boiling. I Haven't Yet Started To Think About Retiring. I Was Shocked When I Heard About Paul Newman Retiring At Age 82. Most Actors Just Fade Away Like Old Soldiers.

I Don't Like A Lot Of Things Like [iraq], I Never Did. Being In A Position Of Celebrity And Having Your Words Carry Such Unnatural Weight...i've Always Been A Bit Squeamish When It Came To That Kind Of Thing.

Is It Possible To Do Something That That Makes An Audience Uncomfortable, Challenges Them, Makes Them See Things They're Not Used To? Here In These Films [salome The Play And Salomaybe], I Have The Opportunity To Say Something About How I Feel About Things.

When You Perform With A Live Audience, The Audience Comes Back To You, So That You And The Audience Are Giving To Each Other, In A Sense. It's An Extraordinary Thing. It's Wild Turf Up There.

I Went Back To The Stage Because It Was My Way Of Dealing With The Success I Had, My Way Of Coping. It Was A Way Of Escaping The Responsibilty Of What Was Happening.
