I'd done table reads for my own screenplays and I always thought they were so much fun. Why couldn't we do these for other classic screenplays and bring them to life? You can experience live theater where you get to see plays produced by different directors and different casts but there's really nothing like that for movie scripts.

I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It's funny because when we found out we were pregnant I said 'Okay let's experience that.' You just have to just go with it because it's rare.

1 Age

  • 1. Every age can be enchanting provided you live within it.
  • 2. I will never be an old man. To me old age is always 15 years older than I am.
  • 3. When I was younger my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old so it wasn't just about me. At around the age of 30 there was a stretch where I wasn't working – certainly not on anything I liked anyway – and I started to do other things.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.
  • 2. With most British actors it's amazing. I think they start with the character on the outside and work in.
  • 3. We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy so engaging for kids.

3 Anger

  • 1. I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.
  • 2. When anger rushes unrestrained to action like a hot steed it stumbles on its way. The man of thought strikes deepest and strikes safely.
  • 3. Shock confusion fear anger grief and defiance. On Sept. 11 2001 and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public's whipsawing stages of acceptance.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
  • 2. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 3. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In any architecture there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.
  • 2. I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year.
  • 3. Every man's work whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else is always a portrait of himself.
