I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.

I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, "Where are they?" Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.

As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.

If I go into a restaurant there's a very good chance that I'm going to spend my time being the mayor. If I want to have a good time, I'm happier having dinner here.

I love discourse. I'm dying to have my mind changed. I'm probably the only liberal who read Treason, by Ann Coulter. I want to know, you understand? I like listening to everybody. This to me is the elixir of life.

I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.

I did not want to be coming off the stage at the mercy of what somebody else told me I did.
