In cinema, the leading player is the director.

I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.

Being a leading man on a film set under the direction of somebody like Dickie Attenborough is very empowering, and you have to be extremely careful how you use that power.

With all due caution, it appears as though the era of Sharon leading Israel has reached its tragic end.

There was one titanic guiding light on the film set, and I was in the presence of a true Mahatma, in the deepest and most profound sense of the word.

I think I'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.
