My workout is my meditation.
To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.'
I can't help but feel that stuff that comes to me by chance or on purpose, whatever, tends to reflect where I am as a human being.
One of the things that I learned in television, and one of the beauties of television, is that, if you have a strong writing staff, they rely on you just as much as you rely on them. They look to me or the other actors to help inspire them to take the character in interesting directions.
The Monmouth Coffee Shop is the best place in London
I don't really think of myself as quirky; I have sort of an unusual sense of humor.
I can move around the floor, but I don't know if I'd call that dancing!
I believe in fate. Sometimes that means an old bearded guy sitting on a cloud and pulling the strings; sometimes it means random atoms swirling through a cheerless universe; sometimes it means everything being preordained thanks to your karma credit from your previous lives.
For the time it takes to make the film, you are treated like a cosseted pet. Then the process is over, and you're hung out to dry. It's like being a mink.
1974 meant big cuffs, bell-bottoms, platform shoes with two-tone colors, and body-conscious shirts.
I've had a chance to really stretch and do a lot of different genres. When I started acting, my whole focus and intention was to work as a stage actor in a company where you're asked to different roles - do a comedy, do a tragedy, etc. I haven't had any reservations about jumping from one type of genre to another.
I already felt disengaged with my contemporaries.
The film world is a crazy place to be. You sit around all day waiting for the phone to ring. Are people talking about you or aren't they?
I always think of the Pacific Northwest as giant trees, and rain, and clouds and dampness, like the Native American art from that area.
Hollywood is not good when it comes to age
Hamlet is a little daunting.
Doing a film, or being sent scripts to look at a certain character, it's very odd for me. I tend to take it very personally.
The nice thing about New York is that you're finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs
The difference with doing a play is that you are in control. In film you are in the hands of the director and the editor and the producer
I've done Graham Norton's show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn't make it past the censors in the States
I really fight for my privacy.
I'd like to do more Shakespeare. I'd like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul
I always liked the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I still want to be Indiana Jones.
I don't think the women in the TV series are really like that. It's certainly not my personal experience of New York women.
Helmut Lang does a lot of very military-influenced things. You have to find the designer that suits your body the best, and he works for me.
