For me, I was given a great gift by my father and my mother in that I was never told any idea was bad. I was told I could explore any thought as long as I wasn't hurting someone else.

The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them.

I really believe that if you're going to bring a child into the world, it's your job to parent that world. Especially if it's just you; you don't pawn her off on somebody.

I may not be wealthy; I'm living from pay check to pay check, but I get to make movies, which is what I love to do.

The first time I saw 'Sunset Boulevard' I was probably eight or nine years old, and it really struck me how it's so simply put and elegant, yet there's so much going on.

Some people are just not going to like me and they're not going to like my work. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

For me, one of the most important things I look for in an actor is whether we can converse. Do we have a similar ability to discuss a character?
