1. I was discouraged at drama school, along with most of my peers.
2. I’ve always thought that a lot of the problems in the world would be solved if a spaceship did arrive, then anyone with one head and two arms and two legs would be your brother! It wouldn’t matter where they were from or what they believed or anything. It might be good for us.
3. That whole generation that’s gone now, that lived through the two world wars, is a great example to all of us. They knew how to live. If something bad happened, they didn’t sit at home, eat Haagen-Dazs, and watch a movie.
4. With Alien, because we always use a different director, each one kind of stands on its own. So I guess it’s possible for them to make another one, but we have no plans.

12. Here’s a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.
