My grandmother took me to a lot of theater. I was exposed to performance quite a bit - everything from Broadway to off-Broadway and dance and music as well. I was very lucky that way. It was a very rich childhood.

Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.

I am forever a romantic. I try to bring that into my work. I try not to be fooled by romance. Or work.

I did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna­ - the one you saw - we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.

It was nice that there [ in the Bourne Ultimatum ] was a reference to the relationship . It's very subtle - it's actually without dialogue. I do think it's powerful even without words.

In my worst moments, I try to think about loving instead of hating. Creation versus destruction, know what I'm sayin'?
