I think I do want to go into politics. I really, really do. And I don't know if I will.

One of the truest things to commit to is your own nature.

I consider myself a pretty good conversationalist, but you wind up being downgraded to idiot status when you don't speak the language!

You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they're the same 30 years later.

My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.

When I told my parents, 'I'm going to be an actor,' they screamed and wept and freaked out.

In the theater, you act more of the time. In the movies, you get to act maybe 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I love acting in movies. It's just different.
