I don't think acting is addictive. If I stopped acting tomorrow, I really wouldn't care. If you told me that I would have to sell real estate in New York City to look after my family, that would be fine with me.

When I am sitting home, and I am happy and I have my TV show and I don't need to work and I'm married now and I like to be in line by my pool with my yoga instructor wife and eating fruit and taking in the sun, then life is good.

We both grew into the people we wanted each other to be.

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

Great acting can be almost a psychotic mix of self-consciousness and unself-consciousness. And thats the terrible conflict. You have to be free to jump off into that volcano and you have to be pathologically self-conscious.

I feel I'm two people: I have my interest in acting and I have a lot of other political interests I'd like to pursue.

I wanted to work with Cate Blanchett. She is one of the five greatest movie actresses of her generation.
