I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

I've only been to Dublin once, and I had a great time. I got completely soaked because it was rainy.

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

Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

There are lots of futurists that spend their whole life trying to figure out who we're going to be in 40, 50, 60, 100 years. That's the great thing about science fiction.

I don't think there is anything good about fame. 'Tables in restaurants.' People say that but, then again, why don't you just call the day before? Or go eat somewhere else?

I think I missed all of the wonderful things ... I missed the control that you have in film, and I missed getting it right, really getting it right, the way you hope people will see it. All of the things that people love about theater - the fact that it changes every night and that it's so spontaneous - all of those things just frighten me.
