When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.

I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.

I like to think that I've got determination, and I'm fiercely protective of the people I love.

I take the fan response very seriously and respond personally to my fan mail.

Just to have the opportunity to play an American in America is a dream come true for me.

There's no better way to unplug than having children. Changing diapers is one of the most leveling things that has ever happened to me.

I love acting. I just love it. It's in my bones. I remember when I was a kid, I watched an interview with Dennis Hopper talking about Jimmy Dean on the set of Rebel Without A Cause. Jimmy said to him, "If you've got to cry in a scene, you've got to cry. Make it real." And that's all that I believe in.
