But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.

I look back at my career when I was younger and can connect what I was going through at the time with the characters I was playing. I see the similarities in them reflecting on my life.

I wish people could get over the hang-up of subtitles, although at the same time, you know, that's kind of why I'm kind of pro dubbing.

Every movie changes you. The process of making a film changes you. You have to be obsessed, you have to get up at 3 in the morning and go "Wait, I have an idea!" You have to continually be drawn over and over again to deepening inside that story, and ruminating over questions: "Why would he say this to her? Why if he was standing there, would she go?" Every one of those answers has to come from some personal place, and in order to do that, you can't sit on the surface. It's such a big change that you can't really explain it to anyone else.

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.

My mom was always late. It drove me crazy as a child. So I'm always on time - or early.

I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.
