I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.

I was always reticent about taking offerings from my father, and I think it was maybe because I felt the caveat was that I had to give something back, and I didn't like that position. But I've never felt incumbent on anyone to kind of keep them lifted or to support them, necessarily. I do that by wish or by option.

I think most actors like to be liked.

People say, "Why is it that you love to act?" And you want to say, "Well, most of acting is sitting in your trailer, either bored or worried about the scene coming up." A lot of it is about things you don't really like, so it's a wonder why acting is such a huge draw, why everyone loves it so much.

Of wanting to pay my own way. I never asked my parents for money. I preferred to steal from my parents than ask them for money.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

I'd always wanted to act, but it was a question of whether acting wanted me and whether the movies wanted me.
