I would never want to vilify somebody who considered abortion murder. I was an illegitimate child myself. I may not have existed today.

I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.

I don't even own a cell phone.

The stage has a certain discipline. But the ultimate standard is more exacting in film, because you have to see yourself and you are your own toughest critic.

Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.

I don't believe in God now. I can still work up an envy for someone who has a faith. I can see how that could be a deeply soothing experience.

It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
