I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.

I had these little babies [my twins] and it gave me something so spectacular, such a feeling - I was so turned on and so excited by them that I wrote a poem. I had it on scraps of paper and the maid threw it out.

The play is the source, it is orchestrated with words. In a movie, you are not dealing with as much as that. There are machines and wires. When you're acting for a camera, it keeps taking and never giving back.

It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.

You take a guy like George Clooney who goes out there to Darfur, and gets things done! That's magical. He's done a great thing.

I'm naturally shy but I've done this [movie Salomaybe] so much and you get better at it than you would think.

Love goes through different stages. But it endures.
