I try to hang on to as much mystery as possible. How can we go through our lives not wanting to have any element of surprise?’

I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, "Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again"

I don't really talk about my personal life and I don't really talk about my relationships. I'm not a big partier. I like the simplicity of my life, and I've chosen the kind of life I really want to live. I don't think my life is boring at all.

I think more than anything, people just want to be understood.

Of course you want your son, your children, to be proud of you.

I'm an Academy Award winner. I'm serious.

You are only as great as the opportunities that are given to you.
