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.

Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.

You are not just, This is the way I play it every night. You are constantly finding new ways in, new attacks, I want to try it this way. Maybe this scene is affecting that scene. I want to attack this scene differently.

[What's my favourite book?] It changes all the time.

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.

You've got to trust the ground you're standing on and the work you've done in telling your story. The goal should be to bring those thousands of people - viewers - together and make them one. When you feel that happening, it's usually in silence, not applause or laughter.

Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.

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.

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.

I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.

Cable TV has become where the best actors, writers and directors have gone to work because they are allowed to do character-driven stories.

I dont categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I dont judge I just play them.

The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.

While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.

Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected.

I can't imagine that anyone in Hollywood is sitting around trying to decide what actor is good or right or qualified for a role and is being denied a role because of their political views. I don't think that's the way Hollywood works. We're not living in an era of blacklisting.

Am I now supposed to go on Oprah and cry and tell you my deepest, darkest secrets because you want to know?
