And my first film was Carnal Knowledge, another amazing experience, largely because of Mike Nichols, who would tell me you can't do anything wrong because you're doing everything right.

That's when the great stuff happens, when you're not checking yourself all the time, being critical of yourself and what other people are doing.

My face is my career.

It's very hard to remain a student in life.

The Oscar nomination made me a recognizable name to other actors and people in general.

I don't like that I'm my own commodity, that I am what I sell.

Work is the most nourishing thing so far in my life.
