I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.

Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I just killed my best friend... and my worst enemy. What's the difference?

That is the responsibility of the artist, of the actor, to inhabit these roles and put on somebody else's shoes. It's the responsibility and the gift of what it is I get the opportunity to do.

How do I feel about being a star now? Well I still try to live life and enjoy what I am doing.

The extreme always seems to make an impression.

This is what Hollywood tends to do. It tends to disregard tradition, history and anything factual, twisting it and turning it and making it all okay regardless of what the English may think of it.
