I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

I can't imagine ever not doing [acting]. I would feel like I would have lost a limb. But I am older now, and sometimes I wonder who I would have been and what about me would have changed had I not had these experiences as a young person

Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.

When I go into the stores, I pet the saddles. Until security comes and takes me away.

I don't like it when reviews aren't about the movie. When they're about how much money somebody made, or who they're sleeping with, or if they got the job via some connection, or about how Fox is putting X amount of dollars into it.

If you had been a public figure from the time you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, than maybe to you might value privacy above all else. I have given everything up there from the time that I was three-years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?

What I didn't realize is how completely consumed I would be by my sons. I didn't know that the rest of my life would become so little a priority.
