QUOTES:

I never really like the characters I play. I only come to love them afterwards.

The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I’m sure sometimes I’m the woman.

I’m happy with very little on this earth, but I do like to have a lot in my glass. [on his love for wine]

I want to get more involved with the vineyards I have all over the world and to spend more time with the people who work in them. You need to be there to make yourself understood; you can’t just tell people what to do from the end of a telephone line. My unrealized ambition is to tend my vines, produce wine and work like an artisan. I dream of rediscovering the old traditions and customs of wine growing, not necessarily to deny the technology which we have today, but to harness it and work in harmony with nature.
