I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.

Fame is damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself.

I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.

The idea the actors are the most important people on a film set I think is very stupid. Actors are the most replaceable people there. There are literally millions of us. There's very few people that can operate a steady-cam. The numbers are a lot, lot fewer for that, you know?
