The bulk of my work isn't commercial -there's not a lot of money hanging off it- so they don't need me to do the very scary part of publicity, which is handing over a slice of your life. One of the greatest things of not having more of a movie career is that you get to keep your privacy. When I started there wasn't this sense of access to show business. Acting was a mystery. I don't think we should demystify it

If I had inhabited some of the characters I played, I'd probably be in jail or in an insane asylum. I take work home in the sense that I worry so much about getting it right, but I don't take my character home with me.

You always feel in the theater as if the rest of your life has stopped, so I leave big gaps in between plays.
