I've got actor friends who didn't get breaks, who struggle and worry about things that I'm fortunate not to have to worry about.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

When I started in the theater, the joy for me was playing different parts, and I get set alight by different people and different worlds. The biggest joy for me is jumping around and going from that to this to that, never feeling that I'm any one thing - because I'm not, and we as people aren't.

I don't just like to have 1 take, but not too many. I think it is good to keep it alive.

I'm competitive with myself, not at the expense of everything around me. I never wanted to be a movie star. I just wanted to act.

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 like it when people are trying too hard. That goes for clothes, for acting, for everything. It's just not good when it seems like you're making too much of an effort.
