- I think an actor's life is necessarily self-involved. And that's what I would like to get away from.
- I have never personally referred to myself as a star. When asked I always say, 'I'm an actor, a working actor.' I think the term 'star' is a vastly overused expression. That term has been used in reference to me but it is not of my own choice.
