Hardly any actor objects to press. It's a question of it being done in the way they like to see it done, meaning to get down to the serious interview what the profession is so we can reach out to the people to help them get along.

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

Actors talking about themselves. Nothing better!

Actors know how to talk to other actors in a way that sometimes other directors just don't.

There are many different ways the public can respond to actors - they can see you on TV and feel they know you and own you, and there can be something quite cornering about that.

There's an inordinate amount of attention put on actors. Some people want to make their lives public, but that doesn't mean everybody does.

I know actors come around and they always talk like that, but I don't do publicity if I don't like the film.

Talking to actors is the same as talking to any other artists; it's getting into the moment for them, and making sure they can lose themselves in the performance!

Well, I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.
