"The fun for me is still acting, though I like doing everything. I'm not really interested in being a superstar. I have a really wonderful, secure private life. The thing about becoming a 'star' is that you get offered the really good roles and that's what I want. I found out a long time ago that the hardest thing about playing Hamlet is being asked to do it. Luckily for me, now, I'm being asked." (from a 1988 interview)
"I'm not a well-trained actor in the classical sense but what I think I have going for me is a sense of honesty about my work."
