My ambition from the very beginning was to make a good part for myself, something differently to what lately I've been doing.

It took me a long time to figure out how to act, and how to conduct myself in the business so I could get what I felt I needed to support my potential and give them what they wanted.

Parenting is an impossible job at any age.

What's important is to be able to see yourself, I think, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.

Failures are inevitable. Unfortunately, in film they live for ever and they're 40 ft wide and 20 ft high.

You have to have a darkness...for the dawn to come. You have to have experienced difficulties and challenges to fully appreciate and be grateful for success.

There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.
