For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.

Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.

I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.

I had never done anything with blue screen before, or prosthetics, or anything like that. Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame for me. It was another world completely. But, to be honest, I basically did it so that I could have the ears. I thought they would really work with my bare head.Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.

I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children, and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.

You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.

If you only exercise your soloist muscles, the other muscles quickly atrophy.
