Because of the way the business is structured, I have sometimes turned down scripts that I might otherwise have accepted had I known who was directing them.

Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.

I think human beings have a basic instinct to be free and explore their world in their own way. I've always been driven to look at life as something which we should try to plunge into rather than sit back. You have to be able to have fun and keep creating a sense of excitement to how you approach the world.

I have to keep myself in check when I go to the kids' sports events. I sit waaay in the back. I make sure I don't do too much cheering, you know what I mean? I'm still not quite adjusted to this modern school of thought: Oh, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm not all the way there yet, but I accept it from the back row.

I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do. Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially. I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny.

The most difficult thing about being well known? Getting out of a hotel room at 4am.

When you look at life retrospectively you rarely regret anything that you did, but you might regret things that you didn't do.
