One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

That's the funny thing about cinema, it is an intellectual medium, but it's also sort of anti-intellectual.

Modern life has gotten so strange, we all get 150 emails and text messages a day, and it's hard when things are moving that quickly to keep that sense of wonder about being alive.

I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.

I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don't have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I'm blowing out candles gives me hives.

Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.

I'm really into rocks. I have a really serious rock collection. Rocks and feathers and shells and strange found things in nature. I have a lot of those kinds of collections.
