If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.

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

To get to be somebody who gets to love what they do for a living, that's so rare, and so there must be some kind of price you have to pay.

Right now the only people I can really fall in love with are people who don't really, truly want me around. Now why do I do that?

It is very difficult for any couple who are married if both people are ambitious. I don't know if it's just too hard to be married to a woman that wants to be a movie star.

I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High.

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