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

I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing; the only way is to work at my craft.

You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.

[Oscar Wilde's Salome screenplay] is not autobiographical in a sense where you go to my house and see my kids and stuff like that, but that's why I guess it's semi-autobiographical.

The physical stamina [in Revolution]. I was just shocked by it. I didn't think I had it in me ever, and I wasn't terribly young when I did it. I was in my early forties. That was the first thing I was struck by, not by the acting, not by anything else, but by the physicality.

When I was younger, there was the sex thing. That's par for the course.When you're a movie star, it went with it. It's a kind of rite of passage, socially.

My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
