I've Got A Serious-looking Head.

Very Often There's This Misapprehension About Actors Being People That Need To Display Themselves, To Reveal Themselves In Public.

Film Has Become Such A Central Part Of Our Culture Now That I Think Sometimes Too Great A Weight Is Placed Upon It In Terms Of Scrutiny And Analysis. There's A Lot Of Rather Specious Professorial Stuff That Swirls Around Films.

It Must Be Hard Interviewing Actors.

I Depleted Myself To The Point Where I Had Nothing Left.

I Don't Torture Myself. And I Do The Work Because Of The Pleasure Involved. I'm Satisfying A Compulsion I Find Nigh-on Irresistible. It's Not Necessarily Because Of The Work Itself. I Just Feel The Need For A Period Of Regeneration Afterwards. Like Leaving A Field Fallow When You've Grazed Too Much On It. I Feel Depleted.
