It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.

I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.

I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.

After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages - he believed that if you crumpled them, you'd be insane in a year.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.

The theater's a live thing, and film is, to some extent, a discipline where you're putting everything together and trying to execute something exactly. You do it away from people and then you present it at the end.

I'm a big fan of comedies and dramas, and I watch tons of movies.
