I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.

I'm not one of those people who thinks they simply deserves success. I have the drive to work. Maybe that's why I've stayed on the fringe.

I didn't expect to win the Oscar. You grow up watching the Oscars on TV and you think it happens to fancy people. It was really surreal

I don't always like my own behavior. I haven't known anyone who is perfect all the time.

I've chosen not to live in Hollywood, and instead I live in Brooklyn, New York. It's how I like to live. I'd rather hang out with my kids and family when I'm not working. Going to premieres is not my idea of a fun night out.

You can't predict what someone else is going to do and when someone else is going to leave
