I don't use the phrase 'I love you' very often, but I say it every time I talk to my children.

I consume an enormous number of books, but they're always on a particular subject because I'm obsessive.

I've never turned down an autograph request. I've never not taken a picture with someone.

What that situation really needed was a little eyebrows.

I found a movie called “Light in the Piazza.” I finally made the movie with Olivia de Havilland and myself, but initially there was no way I could make that movie, so I went to work on becoming that character. They told me they had an Italian [actor], and I said, “That’s a Cuban boy!” His name was Tomas Milan. I thought that’s the craziest thing I’d ever heard: They have a Cuban who’s going to play an Italian, and I can’t play it because I’m an American.

Acting has always been something for me that's been a romp. I just show up and I have a good time, and I hope that I get through the day and I can have lunch in the sun.

Democracy has now become corrupted by the nature of the funders.
