I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

It's always nice to anticipate working in something that you know people will have an appetite for.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction.

I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we're seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I'm not a very nostalgic person - but I enjoy a good story.

It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's growing up, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff.

To me, success is choice and opportunity.
