You just have to get one misstep - that's an easy way to fall into caricature. Bad caricature.

When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance.

You dont know someone until you know what they want.

I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion.

What occurred to me on [‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’], and also with the passing of her mother, is that there's going to come a time when I'm not going to get to be with this person anymore. I'm not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now. I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love.

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.

I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful actually.
