I take away something from every role. I'm still learning and that's what life is about.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

The visceral experience of seeing a movie in three dimensions, coming at you in the theater, is obviously here to stay, because it is a unique experience. I think that kind of format is only appropriate for some genres, but I'm all for it.

Life will teach you, but you have to live long enough to get those lessons.

Im something of a history buff. Its deliberate that a lot of my films have been period pieces.

I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.

I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.
