I think that we all have within us the potential for almost anything. If we play close attention to our lives, then we can get at it somehow.

I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.

I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?

I had not spent a ton of time around animals as a kid.

You run your plays, you know your plays, you study your plays, you study the other team, you do as much as you can, you go to practice, you get in shape, you do what you need to do, and then by the time you get to the game, you know your plays, but they have to feel like they're in your bones. That has to be an unconscious thing, it cannot be conscious. That is everything to me.

When somebody's really good, they're not just thinking about their job.

I think that I have done work where I feel like I've challenged myself, and then what's even more confusing is I've done work where I think I've challenged myself and no one's responded to it, and no one's interested in it.
