You have to let go of stuff when you act for a while. You stay too attached to things that have worked or haven't worked, it kind of makes it harder for you to move forward. So I try to concentrate on the experience that I have and then let the public expression of it be its own deal.

You can find the richness in any moment, even the most seemingly bleak. To try to do a movie about that was a joyful experience. So actually, it was really the context of it that made the experience so worthwhile, rather than the actual subject matter, if that makes sense.

Every time I do a movie, I think it's going to be a huge hit.

I always end up taking people that are morally ambiguous.

My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act.

I wish I had more of the hero gene, but I don't think I'd be very good at playing one.

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.
