I always choose to do the thing that scares me.

Physical qualities don't really matter much.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself

You get kinder when you get into my age range. You think back to how really unkind you were, and how cynical you were and how you tossed things away and you tossed people away, and you didn't care because you were climbing some mountain that you thought you needed to be on top of.

I just always thought, I love acting and I love writing. And when I haven't got any more good breath and good energy, then I'll write.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.
