My job is to interpret. I'm an interpreter. I can add things and bring unique qualities to the role that the writer may not have thought of, but someone else created the fundamental idea.

I'm aware that, from the outside, this looks like I've got quite an ego.

I don't want to show deleted scenes. I don't like an audience looking at what the movie might have been - if it's in the movie, it's in the movie.

Talent is only interesting if it's challenged.

If you have done well in whatever business you are in, it is your duty to send the elevator back down and try to help bring up the next generation of undiscovered talent.

No one’s personal life is in the public interest. It’s gossip, bottom line. End of story.

For me, coming to work every day has turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be.
