I've tried it all. I'd love to do radio plays. I think that one should be open to everything and shouldn't limit oneself.

I've always been one to do the work and just hone my craft.

I'm from a country where acting is taken very seriously; it's a very serious profession.

Every university in America teaches 'Clockwork Orange.' I get fed up with it.

I never do research unless it's extraordinary circumstances.

You can't hold back. You can't think of the subtleties of playing. You just have to get out and really bare it all, and hopefully you don't fall off the plank. And if you do, hey, pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again.

It is true I'd rather get a hole in one than win an Academy Award.
