No one ever recognizes me.

Robin Williams was the kind of generous person who would do things but not want to receive public credit for it.

I don’t mind if the character is a small character, but I would just like her to have a journey in the film. Sometimes the characters are just there as a prop to further the man’s story. The great directors I’ve talked to, I’ve said listen, I don’t mind playing a woman that is a tiny part, but how does the story affect her? What can I play in the end that’s different from the beginning? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense, because it’s just like being a prop.

I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.

It's easier to do an action scene than a love scene. I love fighting. When the camera's not rolling, I'll usually punch some of the actors, just for fun.

No matter what the characters you play, you have to find the differences in them, especially when you are doing a political movie.
