The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.

I've decided I can't really control people's perceptions of me. All I can do is decide on what I work on and how hard I work on it.

I wanted to do serious movies. I had a certain idea of what good acting was. That's since changed, and I love doing comedies now. I don't like a lot of those movies now, but I thought those were movies that I could do real, serious performances in.

Villains can often be one note and I would say in that case, it’s not fun to play the villain. It’s fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for. In the movie, you’re applauded for them if you do them with panache. And so that’s why it’s more fun to play the villain.

I have high aspirations. I want to be an architect.

My style is casual-chic? Casual-messy?
