You spend so much of your life basing yourself on what you think other people think of you. Then you realise that maybe one of the purposes of life is not to care.

In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.

I love acting, and I`m not going to determine what I do based on what I fear other people might think. I do what I want to do.

Somehow I think it was declared very early on that I was the - if not the black sheep of the family, not a very good student.

I walked out of the theater and started crying. My wife asked me, 'Why are you crying?' I said, 'Because I can't do that.' I didn't know how he did it. I've never seen anything like that. It's like this feat, this Rodin sculpture to me. It's like hearing an opera singer and the tears go down your face because it's not human what they're doing. It's like sounds of heaven.
