I think in this movie, every time I see his work, I'm blown away by it because he, to me, he really embodied the character so powerfully and so real, so truthfully to me.

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

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

Ultimately, you know, I'm a grown-up, I've been in this business a long time. I've got kids. I've got to do my stuff. But I also need to keep it there so I can bring it up again the next day at work or whatever.

I do it because I want to exercise people's compassion and I do it because I really believe that for some reason what I do is important and meaningful.

Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.

It's not that I don't see myself as hot and sexy. Don't get me wrong. No, it's not that.
