I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.

I never had crushes on anybody when I was younger; I really didn't.

Guy Pearce played Mike in 'Neighbors'. I would fake illness to stay off school and watch the one P.M. show, and I would also watch it again when it was repeated at 5:25 P.M. Obsessed.

Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears.

Having just had a baby, I'm not going to be thinking about my arse.

The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me.

People say to me, 'You seem to have made this conscious decision to do independent films'. In reality, I haven't. After each movie, I always think, 'how different can I possibly be? Is this going to challenge me, is this going to inspire me, and is this going to make me love my job more than I already do?'
