I love the theater, but if I had to choose, I would choose a film at this time in my life. Something meaty, to sink my teeth into.

I think it's a style of acting that you trust. You trust the instincts.

Meryl Streep's brilliant, just brilliant. I've been fortunate to do two movies with Meryl. And for an actor to go moment to moment like she does, there's no one better. And she dances between moments. Each take is different because she's riding instincts, she's riding impulses. And she trusts that.

The biggest compliment I think an actor can get is I can't imagine anyone else in the role.

I think the American electorate should work a little harder at getting informed. That includes hearing, truly listening, to what the other side is saying. Whether you're left or right.

You know, its really strange now with the Internet, with everyone having an unsolicited, anonymous opinion.

Everything’s a story, kid. Stories are what help us make sense of the world.
