Some people come to you because if you're in their movie, it'll help them raise money. And some people come to you because they think you're the person to play the part.

I like when my face tingles, when the hair on the back of my neck stands up.

Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments.

The movies helped define how I should be as a person.

When I played Robin Hood, I knew the great role was Alan Rickman's and it didn't bother me. I always think that leading actors should be called the best supporting actors.

You're this rat in the American maze, working your way towards the cheese, which is a job.

I can't say I really see much difference between my son and daughters except that my girls will occasionally make me a sandwich and my son won't.
