I would find myself getting deeply distressed if I lived in hindsight all the time.

Realizing that my children are the center of the universe and not me is probably one of the greatest ways to acclimatize.

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.

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

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.

I don't really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I've made the decision I don't view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.
