Deutsche Übersetzung

Was auch immer das Universum ist, an das ein Professor glaubt, muss auf jeden Fall ein Universum sein, das sich für einen längeren Diskurs eignet. Ein Universum, das in zwei Sätzen definiert werden kann, ist etwas, für das der professorale Intellekt keine Verwendung hat. Kein Vertrauen in irgendetwas dieser billigen Art!

What I like is the acting itself. But I'm a lousy celebrity. I'm not interested in selling my private life. I take my private feelings to the work, but I want there to be a difference between me and whoever it is I'm playing.
