As a member of the audience I don’t like it that I can’t see what’s going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I’m more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating Picture Quote #1

In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it Picture Quote #1

One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household, but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London, was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible Picture Quote #1

Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don’t know how you would avoid the process of mimicry.

You don’t merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night’s washing-up Picture Quote #1

It’s a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me Picture Quote #1

Just stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far. I will find you! Picture Quote #1

The more articulate somebody is, the more suspicious I am of them. I like to feel that the important things remain unsaid Picture Quote #1

The word Amendment itself is an encouraging thing, isn’t it? Because an amendment, it tells of a system of government that allows for the improvement of itself. Just move forward a little bit, one day at a time Picture Quote #1

I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what impression you might have of the way I live. I live in a quiet place. I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did Picture Quote #1

When I’ve gone back to work, it’s always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it’s the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can’t avoid this thing. I better just get on with it Picture Quote #1

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies Picture Quote #1

I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime Picture Quote #1

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that’s never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies Picture Quote #1
