I think all phases of one's career are serious if you take it seriously no matter if you are doing high profile dramatic pieces or not.

I don't want to be that guy mumbling into his drink at a bar.

Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it.

The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.

I try to be alert and available. I try to be available for life to happen to me.

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.

It's the most terrifying day of your life, the day the first one is born. Your life, as you know it, is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk, and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you'll ever meet in your life.
