I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting.

I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.
technology thinking looks
I love imaginative representations of a possible near-future, where you look at the technology and you think, "Well, yeah, that could really nearly be true." I like those kinds of backgrounds.

I speed up past mirrors.

I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again.
I don't spend a lot of time with anybody.
mean play views
From my point of view, it's very refreshing to play a regular human being and not someone from another dimension. When I say "not act," what I mean is just to be as natural and as normal as possible.

Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.
home thinking actors
Actors always talk about taking their work home and I always think: 'What are you on? You just turn it off. You are at work and then you go home.'

I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn't help me. Precedents don't inform my experience.

I hardly even leave my own house.
mind bothered presses
I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.
jobs play done
Somebody asked me recently, 'Have you done a lot of plays?' I thought hang on. I used to do nothing but plays. I've been very fortunate that on several occasions I've had jobs where I didn't want to be anywhere else in the world whatever you had to offer - however much money you've got.
