What's exciting to me now is the idea in participating in a landscape of moviemaking that's completely different - the way you can make a movie with a 5D or something and what's going to come out of that. Especially the generation under us who grew up with the internet. When they are making films in the next ten years, they're gonna be so different from what we've seen before because their whole worldview is so different.

I remember calling and asking, because I had a few lines that were like, "How could the character have done this?" and I hadn't read the part of the script that said what she [ Cate Blanchett] did, so they put me on the phone with Woody... Allen. I don't know if I could really say "Woody."

My parents weren't involved in show business but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house.

Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.

The biggest challenge to being an actor is when you're not working, just being unemployed, the downtime and not having anything to do.

I'd never worked with an actor-director before [Warren Beatty].

When I was 14 years old, I was by no means trying to work professionally at all.
