My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I'm ahead or behind the curve, that's for others to decide.

If people are constantly reading about you, and you're overexposed, they've got no reason to go see your movies. Also, it's not pleasant or nice to have your privacy invaded.

It's a very frightening time when something as basic as due process is seen as somehow radical.

Did you know that the word person comes from the Latin word persona, which means mask? So maybe being human means we invite spectators to ponder what lies behind. Each of us will be composed of a variety of masks, and if we can see behind the mask, we would get a burst of clarity. And if that flame was bright enough, that's when we fall in love.

With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you're gonna get out of it. It's like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When you're acting, you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy, and have the cameras rolling.

No, actors go out with actresses as a form of self-flagellation.

But no, I don't really like romantic comedies, so I don't really care. I never go see 'em.
