I don't want kids to be distracted by pipe dreams.

We need happy, productive citizens on our planet for us to survive.

I am actually very in touch with all of my emotions, from joy to pain, and I am free with them.

'Beloved.' That's an amazing film and I'm sorry more people didn't see it when it came out.

Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

I'm happy when people come up and say how they feel about what your character went through, you know, I went through and it's helping me deal with it. I get to see the movie through the audience's eyes and that's really gratifying.
