When I dress up, I have to have a lot of help. I was in a T-shirt until a few minutes ago.

Don't let other people's conversations about what you're doing or you've done be part of your own conversation.

Sometimes your characters in films do things that you wouldn't do. You're not playing yourself all the time.

The point is to stumble upon things in your life, and not plan them out.

It's hard to actually take details from your personal life and apply them a scene because, as much as you can identify with a feeling, you just get muddled. As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it's like, 'No, that's not right.' You're playing a different person. You can relate, but you have to leave that stuff at the door.

You can assess a culture to a degree by the way they receive movies and how they receive a given celebrity.

I'm approaching the idea of taking on a responsibility as great as saying, "I'm good enough to be in your movie." It's a huge statement to make, and every time I do it, I think, "Is this the right choice?"
