People Ask Me How Did You Choose

I Couldn't Say I Ever Dreamt Of Becoming A Composer, A Pianist, Or Anything Else For That Matter. I Have The Kind Of Brain Where Nothing Is Set In Stone.

I Know That Some Actors And Directors Like To Have Intensity On Set. I Don't, Particularly. Certainly, If They Want That, That's Fine, But I Can't Work Like That.

How Do You Play Hannibal Lector? Well Just Don't Move. Scare People By Being Still.

When You're Younger You Have A Lot Of Ideas And You're Probably More Insecure, All Those Things. I Work With Young Actors Now And I See Their Insecurities And I Make Fun Of Them. I Don't Make Fun Of Them But I Make Them Laugh, Because I Know What They're Going Through. When You Get Older You Think 'it's Only A Movie After All, It's Not Brain Surgery.'

I Don't Like Mushiness. I'm A Very Emotional Person But I Hate Sentimentality. I Don't Like Great Demonstrations Of Emotion. But As I'm Getting Older, I'm Getting Much More Open About All That.
