I was trying to figure out where my intellect, if I really have one, where it fit. And so I was searching. I really didn't know who I was or what I really wanted to be, and in that search, like I think you do as an actor, you end up trying to define whatever that is, and I sort of said, "Oh well, searching spiritually in a way is interesting, and Eastern religion seems to be about a search."

Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts.

Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.

I think you hear a lot of people say 'I support the troops' and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.

I was brought up, and my sister too, with two people who were always saying, "What you do is really nowhere near as important as the things that are going on in the world, and if your work needs to reflect that, or you want it to, then you need to strive for a certain type of excellence."

Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.

Most of the things that I learn are from the women in my life.
