When somebody on a professional scale says "you did it wrong," it has a pretty intense impact. If you don't have some kind of opposing force to say, "that's all right, that's their opinion," or, "I may have screwed that one up but I'll do better the next time," then you're screwed.

I feel the film companies should pay for proper advertising to see that the movie will sell, instead of putting it on our backs.

One of the great tools we use in acting is the idea of immediacy, that the audience gets to see you witness something apparently for the first time, so you create a lot of tools to kind of trick yourself into making it appear something is happening for the first time.

All you really have when you're acting is the confidence and your ability to manage and tell a story by creating a character.

I always end up taking people that are morally ambiguous.

If I had done 'Titanic,' it would have made, probably, $200,000 - worldwide. So I think my life would have been very, very similar.

I wish I could say that when I didn't agree with a director I defer to him, but I think sometimes I'm a little self-righteous.
