Sometimes people save the best part of themselves for their art.

Right now, if you're interested in being a dramatic actor, they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.

Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.

I remember staying up all night waiting to see the first screening of Cape Fear because you knew that every time Robert DeNiro had a performance it was going to be revelatory. Then DeNiro hit this place, he seemed like he was done with the emotional cost of impaling himself like that, and he dedicated himself to comedy.

With this sunrise somehow I felt I was exactly where I was supposed to be... Have faith, the light seemed to announce.

Emma Watson is my kids' favorite actor on the planet. They never took me more seriously than when I was working with her.

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.
