An actor needs to be not remotely anywhere close to in control, and a filmmaker has to be totally in control.

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face.

I trust kids far more than I do adults. Kids give you the honest opinion. They tell the truth.

I'm not even born yet. I'm still trying. I'm still pushing. I don't ever want to get to a place where I feel satisfied.

I can't stand not being able to joke around on set, so I have to.

Marlon [Brando] showed me that you could do the work and not have to shut yourself off from people or your family.

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I’m human and I’m normal – well, semi-normal.
