Whether that's positive or not, people are talking about the Old Vic Theater again with passion and commitment and controversy and debate.
The only real experiences I've had with therapists were the ones who were working with me and my family when my mother was ill.
Maybe there are people who are gamers who haven't seen movies I have made, or the movies I have made have made no impression on them at all.
Am I arrogant? I've been arrogant, sure; everybody's been arrogant.
There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.
My life will change, because I want it to change; and also because this is something I'm committed to doing and that I believe my life has been leading towards.
When you study, as I did, every theatrical beginning in this country, none of them have been greeted well. The Royal Shakespeare Company was a disaster, Peter Hall was a disaster, Richard Eyre was a disaster, Trevor Nunn was always a disaster.

As long as we, in the United States, continue to insist that our politicians have to spend all of their time raising millions of dollars for television ads, it will be corrupt. If we leave it up to the politicians to clean up lobbying and finance reform, nothing is going to change.
I am now a commander of the British Empire.
No matter how good you might be in a movie, you'll never be any better. But in a play, I can be better next Tuesday. That's the thrill of it.
