The Audience Should Feel Like

Acting Is About Giving Something Away, Handing Yourself Over To Whatever Role You Are Asked To Play. I'm Not Hiding Or Escaping Or Seeking Anonymity. I Reserve The Right Not To Have A Rubber Stamp On My Forehead Saying This Is Who I Am. Because Who I Am Gets In The Way Of People Looking Innocently At The Parts I Play.

Older People Say, 'oh I Loved You In 'sense And Sensibility,'' And That's The Only Film They Want To Talk About. Equally, There Are People Who Only Want To Talk About 'galaxy Quest.' And There's A Whole Bunch Of Teenagers Who Only Want To Talk About 'dogma.'

I Have Every Sympathy For Writers. It's A Mystery To Me What They Do. I Can Edit. I Can Cross Out And Say, 'i'm Not Saying That' Or, 'how About We Move This To Here? Wouldn't That Make That Bit Of The Story Better?' But Where Any Of It Comes From Is Beyond Me. I Will Never Write A Play Or A Novel.

Parts Win Prizes, Not Actors.

That's It Then. Cancel The Kitchen Scraps For Lepers And Orphans, No More Merciful Beheadings, And Call Off Christmas.
