Learning (Shakespeare's plays) ...in school was a bit of a bore.

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

I understand the directors much more. I was always rebelling against them when I was a youngster, I didn't want to be told what to do. I had no identification.

Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.

Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.

[Ocean's Thirteen] is a great group, and it was an opportunity to work with Steven Soderbergh. But mainly? It was shot in L.A. and I want to be next to my kids. So I've been doing everything that has to do with being next to them, close to them.

Show me a bad script and I will show you a big payday.
