We don't want a busybody government - a boss - that butts into our lives every chance it gets to tell us how to work, how to play, where to live and on and on.
There are a lot of people who wait tables. And especially because you can do it at night and you can do your work in the day, she and I had a very similar experience.
From my point of view, there is a lot of joy in stage work.
It's not that I'm knocking the movie and television work.
I do not believe in excuses. I believe in hard work as the prime solvent of life's problems.
Do not primarily train men to work. Train them to serve willingly and intelligently.
I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.
I used to ask Sean questions about acting. He's a brilliant actor, but I could never digest his information. I work primarily on an intuitive level.
I could not understand why Meryl Streep, for example, is allowed to work while pregnant and I'm not.
No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.
Every time I work with a European director, I find they hire the person that captures the spirit of the role. Americans tend to hire the best face. The person that looks more like the role, whether they can perform the role or not is a bonus.
I believe the director is the one that sets the mood and if you have this hysterical director it's a domino effect. I would work for him forever, for nothing. Don't tell my agent that.
I love acting. When I'm acting I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm just having a wonderful time. The nightmare is just getting the work to happen.
The work is getting the work.
My work looks like a comic book in form, but it's not a typical comic book in content. I write autobiographical stuff.
