I've always been able to let stuff go when I'm done with work.

I think it's important to do smaller films because I think that's where a lot of new things are happening.

Compassion is very important, especially right now in America. We all need to strive as human beings to understand each other and ourselves better.

Ever since I had my first child I have been passionate in my commitment to preserve our precious resources for my children and their children's children. This is the obligation of all of us visiting this planet for a limited time.

Our family adopted Paulie from a shelter as an 8-week-old puppy. We've had him for 11 years, and I think it was valuable for the kids to learn to be responsible for a pet. It's a wonderful thing for families - the unconditional love you get from a pet is something you carry with you for the rest of your life.

Whether it be in a small movie or a big movie, I would always be attracted to this role.
