When your life is being threatened there's an instinctive urge to fight. You fight for the time you have, for your relationships.

It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.

I don't mind aging. I mean, my whole thing is, it's just a privilege to age.

My family is from the South, and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with, like my great-aunts, who had handkerchiefs. There's something sweet about them.

Fear, anxiety and neurosis: that's just in the suitcase when you're an actor.

I love actors, regardless of where they are in their skill level. There's something terribly satisfying about working with someone who's really learning.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.
