Now apparently I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show.

I didn't work very much when they were young, and I had the luxury to be able to do that. Most people can't.

I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.

I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.

I wish that I spoke more languages. I speak a couple languages, but not well enough to really dub myself. French is really the only one, and it's a difficult thing.

I'd prefer not to act in the film I'm directing. I think, though, as an actor, you do learn how to turn things on and off quickly and kind of compartmentalize. You learn to accommodate the camera and the other actors, to notice where the boom is and where you mark is, and be able to repeat something a few times.
