I just think that on the bedrock of his creative genius, there resided in Shakespeare a male psyche and a female psyche and that they both dwelled very creatively and energetically inside him. (theater)
I'm a hopping maniac, and if I didn't have that disciplined channel to pour this maniacal energy into, I'd probably go berserk. (unknown)
I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative. (unknown)
I have never felt bereft of anything. (unknown)

I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain. (work)
The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed. (movies)
I might be asked to make an emotional expression which is me being absolutely, absolutely still and making maybe one movement, and there it is. (unknown)
Unfortunately I went to a hotel in Krakow, and unfortunately, one night, there was a brawl in the bar because a horrible anti-Semitic remark was made to one of my fellow Israeli actors, one of my fellow actors who was an Israeli, sorry, and we were all extremely upset. I reacted rather violently, I'm afraid. (acting and actors)
I try not to make it easy for myself. I try very hard to stay in the moment. I'm not an actor who psyches himself up for a take. I do the opposite. I actually try and reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce and get to what I call a flat line or a zero. (acting and actors)
One of the greatest things drama can do, at it's best, is to redefine the words we use every day such as love, home, family, loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer. (tragedies)
We are adjusters. We empathize, we change rhythm and above all we listen to our fellow actors-if they're good actors. (actors)

Maybe it's not a very businesslike approach, but it's always what attracts me... I do believe that it is that energy, that wonderful energy of the ancient craft of storytelling that will ignite something in the listeners. (plays)
In my own experience, in portraying other men and earning my money by pretending to be somebody else, it has stamped me with what the actor is-tribally central and socially peripheral. (actors)
Shock is shock. Your body goes into shock, regardless of it being real blood or fake blood. The mind sends powerful messages to all the various glands and secretions in the body. It's impossible trying to act it; it just happens. It's a very important question: no acting. (plays)
I think that the stamina, the marathon stamina that you required of your actor, I probably developed on great texts during my Shakespeare tenancy, if you like. (theater)
Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn't there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can't. (unknown)
I told myself that I would not go back to the camps as an actor ever again, that I was very frightened of wearing a yellow star. It was fear, it was cowardice, I was. (actors)
Movie magic is movie magic and acting magic is acting magic. (magic)
There's nothing worse than taking your children to a bad pantomime where they are having more fun on stage than the kids are in the audience. It's insulting, it's demeaning, it's excluding. (children)
Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work. (work)
I just loved playing a man who was unafraid of making an idiot of himself in the process of falling in love. I found that admirable. (work)
There's so much crap talked about acting. (acting and actors)
