My work is distinct and definitive and specific, and hopefully it is so that every single character is different, and they are - but there's probably an underlying element that's me.
I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.
A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long. You can't talk to them. It's Method and the whole thing.
I work with my acting coach to help me get into character and do pronunciation drills and tongue twisters to help me deliver lines.
Profitability comes from loyalty, productivity, and having a character base from which to work.
I don't fully understand my wife's emotions - and I'm supposed to write an excellent female character and unravel the secret of women?
Thrillers have been traditionally very masculine books; the women characters often rather decorative.
But the sky is interesting, it changes all the time.
I couldn't go now to a brand that had a niche attitude like... gothic. I couldn't do that. Well, I could do it, but I wouldn't find it interesting, challenging.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age.
During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art.
There is no time for fear. It's much too interesting.
The whole debate on what food is best for us is complex, ongoing and often controlled by vested interests.
We aren't, as human beings, very good at acting in our best interest.
I think filmmakers are always interested in getting the best actor that they can find, the person who's the most right for it.
I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.
I never had any interest in sitcoms or motion pictures or anything like that.
I've always loved fast vehicles and looking at interesting cars.
I'm always willing to talk to somebody if they have something to say that is interesting.
People are much more interesting than people realise.
