I can not stay at the place when a stranger starts talking to me. I will try to cut the speech as quick as possible and move away. I had to break this inhibition before becoming an actor.

Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.

Better remain silent, better not even think, if you are not prepared to act.

I'm very interested in silence. And, more importantly, in what happens when people aren't talking on stage. I'm interested in letting actors play and do things between the lines. And in slowing everything down.

I'm very quiet. I can go a whole week without talking, so doing interviews is really awkward for me!

When I attack a role, be it TV, film or stage, the first thing I say is, I don't want to know anything. If it's good I don't want to hear it; if it's bad I don't want to hear it. The only thing either thing can do is distract me. I like to stay focused.

I don't like to talk about things unless I have to. I don't like to talk a scene to death or overanalyze it, especially if I feel like I have some way in on my own.

Off stage, I'm very quiet and very reserved and kind of shy.

I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
