All nights are sacred nights to make confession and resolve and prayer; all days are sacred days to wake new gladness in the sunny air.

I think if my daughter was interested in acting, I would find ways for her to act in theater that has to do with her school or a kids' improvisational thing. There are ways to do it where you're not on a movie set with 60 adults, which I loved at the time, but as a parent, I don't know that I'd be dying to put her in that spot.

The Oscar sits on some shelf above my desk. If there was an earthquake, I could actually be killed by my own Academy Award.

I worked before I had my daughter, enough for three actresses.

When you first entered the restaurant, I thought you were handsome... and then, of course, you spoke.

I think I'm a weird combination of deeply introverted and very daring. I can feel both those things working.

I think I have more of a director's brain than an actor's brain, in a way.
