Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts, and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what's serious. I think that's true. Sometimes things are really funny if you're absolutely earnest. If you're really serious, it's hilarious.

Also, I think there are huge reactions sometimes, which are also mysterious.

I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.

Death is wonderful because you can't think about it. How are you gonna think about it?

I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.

I know that whenever I think about death, I come up against a stone wall.

I never know when I am being funny, and the other way too. I don't think you can think about that. I don't think you can try to be funny. Some people are just funny.

It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.

Acting has to do with saying it as if you meant it, so for me the words are always very important. It's very important for me to know my lines, know them so well that I don't have to think about them.
