For me, it's important to keep a level of anonymity.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

I'm a fairly private person.

I think that sometimes in theater, I don’t prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals.

In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there’s so much that’s against you on a film set.

I don’t think anyone can walk through the world in a state of vulnerability all the time, can they?

The thing about acting is that it’s fairly random. At the end of the day you take what drifts past you or what’s given to you.

What I notice about people who are gifted in filmmaking is that they’re great thinkers. They engage with big ideas and they engage with people.

I’m not tortured and neurasthenic – I’m really not.

My favorite Bond films are the really early ones, the first ones in fact, like ‘Dr. No’ and ‘From Russia with Love.’
