"I should never have been happy in any profession that did not call forth the highest intellectual strain, and yet keep me in good warm contact with my neighbors.

"Pretending to be other people is my game and that to me is the essence of the whole business of acting."
Business
"It's quite a dangerous career move to go wilfully on making films that may not find a distributor."
