It Is An Ancient Need To Be

I'm A Lot Less Serious Than People Think.

A Wounding Tongue. I'm Working On It. Perhaps Its The Celt In Me.

Certainly As Actors, And Maybe As Directors, You've Got To Hang On To Something Childlike. You've Got To Know What Play Is. I Haven't Worked With Mike Leigh, But I Know Him Very Well And There's Something Open In His Eyes About What's In Front Of Him. And The Same Is True Of Alfonso In A Mexican, Mad Way. There's An Enthusiastic Response To Something. Neil Jordan, The Same, When He Gets Excited . You Just Want To Know There's A Human Being In There.

I Do Take My Work Seriously And The Way To Do That Is Not To Take Yourself Too Seriously.

If You Spend Any Time In Los Angeles, There's Only One Topic Of Conversation.
