Most actors don't really have a director's sensibility. They have an actor's sensibility.

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

We think, "If I have more money, I am more valuable. If I make more money, I am more valuable." It's all sort of wound up with this problem that humans have with their failure.

I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.

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

I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.
