I think I'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies. |
I think if I were to go back on stage I might be in great danger of acting. |
I think it's probably honest to say that there's a certain powerful stillness that I remember admiring tremendously as I grew up. And that would be Spencer Tracy... and Bogart and that particular approach to the work. The stillness, the economy, the grace of that work, so they would have been then, my heroes on the screen. |

I told the queen that winning an Oscar pales into insignificance. This is insurmountable, |
