I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day.

I try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see.

You can be as you choose to be. It's an act of discipline sometimes, but it can be done.

You just do the things that you love and see if other people can like them too.

I am a really writer-oriented actor.

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.
