I've never heard of a situation where, because somebody had a particular political belief, they didn't get a part. I think it's a bit of a myth.

I terribly miss - we all miss, I think - somebody like the great producer Irving Thalberg. He had a foot in both camps: He understood us creative people. And he understood the money people.

That we are given clues by a writer about someone's essence or persona and it's our job to try to figure out which of those clues are true, which of clues we decide to follow and which of those clues we think are red herrings, or only in the way another character thinks of that character.

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.

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.

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.

Essentially, your voice is an instrument its a muscle, and you have to treat it like a muscle, and so you have to work it.

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

Whether its Veep or Homeland or The West Wing - which is a more idealised version of democracy - people are fascinated by politics.
