...your health? Yeah, my fitness could be a little better, otherwise I'm okay. I don't play very much at all now. I get a little arthritis in the wrist. I guess I've hit a few too many tennis balls...
...make her sympathetic? First of all, the actor needs to get out of the character's way. You follow the character without judgment or prejudice or preconceived ideas.

If you're going to be an actor and you're going to direct, you cannot go into movies, particularly saying, okay I'm going to direct these scenes. You have to surrender to it until you wake up one day and they're not doing their job. Tony never had that. There was never a second of that. The first day he's shooting with Robert Elswit, who is a cinematographer...
