The Poor Oscars - They Always Get

I Have Done Film, Television And Theatre - All At A Pretty Substantial Level - I Don't Think It's Possible For American Actors To Do That.

I Wonder What It Means When Americans Say I'm An American. In Britain The Culture Is Basically The Same From One End Of The Country To The Other. And When I Came Here And I Saw Americans Who Live, I Don't Know, In You Know, Northwestern California As Opposed To Americans Who Live In Louisiana, As Opposed To Americans Who Live In The Nevada Desert. English Even Is Literally A Picture That I Have In My Mind Of An Oak Tree In The Field, A Single Oak In A Green Field. And Also When I Think Of My Russian Roots, It's The Landscape That I Connect With As More Than Maybe The Poetry Or The Drama.

I Drink Just As Much Tea When I'm In Los Angeles As I Do When I'm In London. I Take My Tea Bags With Me Wherever I Go.

When I'm Choosing Projects To Be A Part Of It's Always A Combination Of So Many Different Things. The Primary Thing Is The Director. But A Very Important Element Is, Is It Different Enough From Anything Else I've Ever Done, Or What I've Last Done.

Once A Film Gets Into Production, The Actors Sometimes Begin To Have More Input Than A Writer Does.
