One of our theories is that one can offset this excessive compulsion toward the spectacular with a return to simplicity.

What I'm still grappling with and learning how to do is to be looking and thinking cinematically, having come from television.

I try to watch the show every week and improve upon myself. I've become a fan.

Every year or so, I try to do something; it keeps me refreshed as to what's going on in front of the lens, and I understand what the actor is going through.

Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.

For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.

I have done a few roles that I've never watched, and if I happen to be flicking through channels and one pops up, I quickly move on. It's hard enough to sustain some self confidence without being reminded of things we'd rather not revisit but, in the end, it comes with the territory.

I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it's like the world is coming to an end!

For me, there are always things to learn. It's like the next movie is going to be the good one, you know.

I think that kids need to grow up watching what I grew up watching - great entertainment; you know, Judy Garland and all these musicals that bring song and dance and acting all together in a polished way.
