You need to keep on doing things you have never done before in your career. You have to have a go.

The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.

I find talking about acting very boring, having to come out with platitudes about how terribly nice everyone is. I would much rather just do it.

You can't look at people being crucified. Even if you know it is just pretend.

Whatever I did, I always gravitated toward trying to be funny. If I was with friends, we were joking around. If I wrote for the newspaper, it would be a humor column. If I acted, I wanted to do comedy.

All those I admired as a young performer had a calmness to their comedy.

Okay, sense of humor: plus one. Being able to laugh at yourself: plus one. Being able to laugh at other people without being mean: plus one. Vanity: minus one.

You need to talk about sex with a sense of humor, especially because sex is a sensitive area for a lot of people.
