I worked three and then six hours a day in my studio with strict discipline and emotion. I obtained awards usually granted to other foreigners during the end-of-year admission tests.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been working every year since I started acting, and I got many awards before I won the Oscar for 'The Queen.'
I've trained myself not to put too much emphasis on awards, only because I never got into acting to win an award.
I have a studio at home, and do 3 hours a day that way.
I studied at the Budapest Academy of Theatrical Arts for four years and emerged with a degree.
You win the Oscar, you get to go into just about anybody's office for a month. I had a lot of meetings.
I suffer much less than many of my colleagues. I am perfectly able to go to Australia and film within three hours of arrival.
I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, with an English literature degree and travelled for a year before going to work.
The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.
The only work I've done the last two years is interviews. I'm very good at it.
I've earned my living in all sorts of terrible ways - as a janitor, a copy editor, a psychotherapist.
