By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.

Cruelty might be very human, and it might be very cultural, but it's not acceptable.

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.

I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.

I conducted a bunch of interviews for Interview magazine. They actually paid me. I think I was probably 18 or 19. I was in college and I remember feeling, like, "Wow." I had a real job, and they paid me money, and it was exciting.

I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast.

Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.
