Quote

I open myself up every time I walk on screen and give you everything that I am. There are parts of me that are in every movie that I've done. That to me is what my job is.

I never doubted at all. If you ever doubt then you are in trouble. I never thought: 'I should do this or that in case I don't make it.' I never had a back-up plan.

What I do is interpret, not create. I may add elements and do something different. That is what is so incredible about theatre. Why do we love it that there are nine Hamletsor six King Lears over two years? We love to watch a different actor attack the same material.

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.

Fundamentally, I like to accomplish things.

To know what you want, to understand why you're doing it, to dedicate every breath in your body to achieve... If you feel you have something to give, if you feel that your particular talent is worth developing, is worth caring for then there's nothing you can`t achieve.

Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it.

Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.

It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.

I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.

I'm not out there trying to get press for myself nor am I trying to convince anybody that I'm living any kind of a life. I'm actually trying to convince people: I don't want you to know what I'm living, because it's none of your business.

When you know you have 1,000 people sitting on the edge of their seats in silence because of a shift that just happened on stage, there is no better feeling.

Look, I might have lived in England for the last several years but I'm still an American citizen and I have not given up my right to privacy.

Look, at the end of the day people have to respect people's differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.

Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.

Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller.

I think you need the failures to get the success. You learn more from that.

People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone's reasons in the same box.

Talent is one thing, it is how you nurture and develop it, and never walk away from it. You can be rich, successful, you win awards, but it can always be better.

I think what we have seen in terms of gay teenagers committing suicide because of bullying is anguishing. I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone. But I feel that they have just as many rights as I do to not be bullied.

The greatest sound in the theater is silence.
