You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels that it's their experience not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say now this song is about 'my' broken heart.

There is no winning or losing but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you're involved in whether it's a fantasy game the Wild West secret agenst or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things.

It was a very profound experience getting in touch with that part of us in all of us human beings that is committed beyond yourself to the point of giving everything you have including your life for other people for your fellow man.

It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen especially 60-feet high. As an actor it is an uncomfortable experience.

I wouldn't go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It's a nasty experience. You're up there all by yourself. You're so damn exposed.

Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel anything you read all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.

No matter how close to personal experience a story might be inevitably you are going to get to a part that isn't yours and actually whether it happened or not becomes irrelevant. It is all about choosing the right words.

Find what's hot find what's just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.
