To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.

The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck.

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

I hope I am remembered by my children as a good father.
