You don't need other people to affirm that you're a valuable person.

It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.

Alejandro Amenábar is a very interesting filmmaker. I had really liked The Others, which was a movie he made with Nicole Kidman a few years ago. He made a very compelling case about how much he wanted me to be in this movie. Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.

Nothing teaches you like getting leveled. And I got leveled in my early 30s. Nothing went exactly the way I thought it would.

I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.

Your development as a person should coincide with your development in all aspects of your life.

If I do three movies in a year, I don't feel like acting ever again.
