I'm just so happy to see my friends and fans in Taiwan, 'cause that's where I'm from.
Desperately struggling, kicking down other people. Stealing the stolen, while repeating your reasons over and over. And even so, you aim for the horizon over the hills. That's why humans are so interesting...
There are people who think I am Israeli. That's rubbish.
It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan.
I'm just worried that there's enough beer on the bus. That's the top priority at all times.
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.
One cannot set out to make a work that's spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space?
If you're from a poor background, you have to work even harder. But that's what makes you who you are.
When I really have to push and grope and scratch and claw to make a story work, that's a telltale sign that maybe something conceptually isn't right.
Many training programs and often schools focus on just a skill or a kind of work competency. That's only half the equation.
When you talk about 'doing the work', that's the work I'm interested in. What can I contribute as a human being?
I got better as an actor, and still I'm getting better. That's only been possible because there's always been work.
My favorite on screen moments are when you are really there and you know you're creating something. That's so exciting... it's why you come to work.
I'm really not a clothes person. To me, that's just work. It's the thing I hate to do the most. I don't want to be judged in that way.
The work my mum does, a lot of it is re-housing homeless people, that's a real job. I play make-believe and dressing up for a living!
Next year, if no one gives me any work, that's fine. I'm not going to do well anyway. I'm not an actor, I'm just exploiting this industry.
There's so much joy in doing comedy work, and that's one of the reasons I like to do it - because it's just a hilarious day at work.
The fact of the matter is that we're all aging, and there's this stigma that older actresses don't work as much as younger actresses, and I don't think that's true anymore.
I think at this point, I'd eventually like to work behind the camera. That's not to say I would never act again, I'm not quite sure to be honest.
I wouldn't presume to know something, but I have lots to learn and that's what I attempt to do through my work.
I like to edit; I like to work with other people, and that's something stand-up doesn't really have.
