I'm no good at down-time. I panic slightly and then plan a project or set up a meeting about starting a project.

All actors think every job will be their last.

I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.

We have one life and we should cherish it and make it the best we can.

You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don't want them to identify with you as a person.

I always try to put myself in the way of surprise as much as possible. My ambition is to keep challenging myself. I like that journey of discovery.
