I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.

The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don't have characters that I feel as personally connected to.

I give credence to the worst things somebody writes about me, and if somebody writes something nice, I think they're wrong or false or lying or joking.

As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.

I think the most important thing for an actor is reading the script and trying to figure out if you can play that character well. The last thing on my mind is if the director made good movies previously. It's not my job to know if that director's last movie was any good - it's my job to know if I can play the role.

It's very hard to be a playwright because it's very competitive.

Often times, being in a popular thing means that you have to compromise your own acting.
