I was very uncomfortable with all the attention when it first started happening to me. I retreated quite a bit from the world, both physically and emotionally. But then you just accept that you can't control what the rest of the world thinks or does.

I'm not really a pitcher; I just play one in the movies.

You have to have the fire in your belly. I'm having more fun now with acting than I did when I first started out, because I'm doing it just because I really enjoy it. I'm not trying to "make it" anymore. I'm not trying to be anything, you know? The biggest this and that for anybody. I'm just enjoying it.

I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.

What is great about art and artists is that we get to ask the questions, even though we may never know the answers.

What I find is that we're all human beings and that it's all very similar, what we believe. At the bottom, there's really not that much difference between Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists. We all worship God.

God is the only way you're going to make it in life, the glue that holds everything together.
