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.
When you get to work with people like Ian McKellen or directors like Peter Jackson, you sit and watch.
You have a right to your opinion about the work that you're doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances.
Film work can be very interesting, but it also can be awfully boring because who creates the film? The actors? No. It is the director. It's his piece of work.
I am very clear that when I work with a director what he or she says is the last word.
When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.
That's a frustration sometimes, that certain directors that I'd like to work with, they just aren't doing stories that I'm sort of castable in. Not always, but sometimes I have that frustration.

But I like to be thought of as a good father and a good husband.
Good music is good music, but it has to be good.
I'm alive. That's a good thing.
Never repent a good action.
Where there's no good within, no good comes out.
A good deed bears interest.
