Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
I was never a fanatical movie person.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
Politics is not really my thing.
I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater, but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights, and maybe pitfalls too.
I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
I don't throw things or yell.
Where women are concerned, the rule is never to go out with anyone better dressed than you.
I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you're struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes.
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
