Philosophy of life |
Live and let live |
| Quote |
"Acting is a learning process, and what you
are doing in your early films is essentially
picking up the nuances, the tricks of your
trade. And somewhere along the line, you become
analytical, and learn to enjoy what you are
doing. Essentially, though, I see myself as a
director's medium - he needs something from me,
I deliver it."
