I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.

The minute I ever start thinking about what a character would do is the minute I bring my ego into play. It's the minute I'm putting a judgment on something.

I feel that I've been very fortunate in the films that I have gotten and that I've chosen to do.

We do have a choice at the end of the day to say yes or to say no. There have been things that I have passed on where agents at the time were like, "you're crazy, why would you pass on this," because it wasn't something that I personally wanted to be a part of.

It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

If I was just considered a looker and wasn't considered an actor, where would I be in 10 or 20 years from now?

The most beautiful thing is telling someone you love them, because you can only love another person if you love yourself
