My goal is to tell good stories. And to try as best I can to do something new with acting. To learn from the past and to be a relevant artist. To make stories that are interesting and contemporary and to tell some kind of emotional truth.

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

I've always watched actors on the red carpet getting drunk and making idiots of themselves and now I'm happy to join their ranks

Most of us float with the river and there are a few people who move the river. Robert DeNiro is definitely one of them.

I love working on scripts. I love coming up with ideas about what people would dress like or talk like. I love all that.
