Parts Win Prizes, Not Actors.

Each Character I Play Has Different Dimensions. I'm Not Interested In Words That Pull Them Together.

Actors Are Agents Of Change. A Film, A Piece Of Theater, A Piece Of Music, Or A Book Can Make A Difference. It Can Change The World.

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.

Parts Win Prizes, Not Actors.

With The Best Intentions, The Job Of Acting Can Become A Display Of Accumulated Bad Habits, Trapped Instincts And Blocked Energies. Working With The Alexander Technique Has Given Me Sightings Of Another Way... Mind And Body, Work And Life Together. Real Imaginative Freedom.
