I do that in whatever language of the country I'm in, because the audience appreciate it.

I speak the language of television.

I've been alienating my public since I was 20 years old. When 'American Buffalo' came out on Broadway, people would storm out and say, 'How dare he use that kind of language!' Of course I'm alienating the public! That's what they pay me for.

For me, if I'm going to do a play, I prefer to do something with language that I don't get to speak on TV.

The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I'm saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don't owe me a thing.

Language is a more recent technology. Your body language, your eyes, your energy will come through to your audience before you even start speaking.

I feel that I speak the musical language.

When you do a film in a foreign language, you know there's a cost in it, that you know, unfortunately, the audiences of foreign language films have not been cultivated. There's a market, but the market has been reduced, unfortunately, and you know that when you're making a foreign language film, you're making a choice.

I am an actress - I am paid to verbalize other people's words, not create my own.

You either entertain an audience or you don't.
