Quotes
-If a role isn't different, it's not worth doing.
-When I'm offered a role, I look at what I think I can do with it. I look to see if I can project myself into it.
-I can do more than anyone suspects. I pride myself on my versatility. It took 32 years of difficult parts, second leads, villains and juveniles. The Oscar changed the quality of the roles I was being offered.
