I've Been Acting For 25 Years, Living

You're Suspended Sixty Feet Up In The Air, You've Been Up There For Three Hours, And All The Shot Requires Is That You Have To Sort Of React To Getting Punched In The Head.

I Love Working Fast. I Don't Relish The Director Who Wants To Do 25 To 30 Takes, Or The Actors Who Insist On Doing 25 Or 30 Takes.

There Are Many Actors Who Have Inspired Me: Spencer Tracy For His Incredible Elegance And, Of Course, Cary Grant. But, There's Also An Italian Actor I Admire A Great Deal: Alberto Sordi.

I've Worked With Actors Who Treat The First Two Takes Like Rehearsals. And That's Okay. If The Camera Is On You And We're Doing A Scene Where I'm Off Camera, I'm Treating That As A Rehearsal.

When I Look Back On My Career - If That's What It Is - It Looks A Bit Like A Crazy Quilt, And I Think It's Just Really Because, When One Job Has Finished, I've Never Really Been In A Position Where I Had Three Or Four Options.
