With Theatre, You Have To Be Ready

I Don't Think People Are Interested In My Personal Life. I've Never Had A Hollywood Life. I've Always Been A Worker.

The English Patient' Is About The Coming Together Of A French-canadian Nurse, An English Patient, A Sikh In A Turban And Me, Caravaggio, And Each Of Us Is Seeking A Resolution To Our Own Problems.

Mounting Those Red Stairs [in Cannes] Is Something I've Done With A Very Different Intention Many Times. So It's Interesting Any Time You Witness Those Shifts Of Perspective. The Beach Scenes Were Also Fun. It Felt Very Strange And Very Theatrical To Kind Of Commandeer It And Have La Mer Booming Over The Speakers.

Socially, I Like The Idea Of Sitting In A Theater With A Bunch Of People.

Truth Is, Generally I Like Film Festivals; Somewhere At Some Level There's An Exchange Of Ideas.
