I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct.

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

The producers had seen "In a World..." and that's where they found me out and consequently sought me out for this role [in Man up].

When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.

You can't live in a dialect without tremendous work. Like any muscle, accents and voices and languages are all formed out of the muscles that we have in our mouths and faces and tongues.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

I'm a music person. Music is, for me, the best way to cure any sort of anxiety or icky feelings. I think it immediately takes you out of your element and makes some other person do the work for your thoughts.
