Quotes:
- Everyone wants to learn something; maybe not everyone makes the effort, because they get discouraged. I certainly was like that as a teenager in Brooklyn, always trying to hide my ignorance. But you have to find the strength to acknowledge that ignorance within yourself, otherwise you are going to remain stagnant. I learnt a valuable lesson with Ridley Scott. My agent kept insisting that i go watch the show-reel of this commercial director and I kept turning him down thinking there was no way that I was even going to consider working with a commercial director. In the end I saw his reel and I was blown away by how great it was.
- Fear is a marker I need to rise above, otherwise I would drown in my fear of myself.
- The Sonderkommando [were a group of Jews] who led [other] Jews to the undressing rooms to prepare them for the gas chambers....What in us permits that? What in us permits knowing that our children will be slaughtered, to allow that to happen without doing something about it?
- I don't want people to think that awards amount to the value of an actor. Real success means involvement - to engage oneself totally in something. Unless you become involved, you will stay uninvolved. If money is your god, you will accumulate money, but little else. If you seek out the experience of something...you have a good chance to have a full life.
