The entertainment industry is terrified of silence.

I am very lucky, because for the most part people are very nice to me, and I am still able to go about my life and ride the subway and all that.

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.

Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.

I crave a cone of silence every once in while.

I hope that anyone I worked with wouldn't exploit our relationship.

The (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) stories were great, for one. The thing that makes him a remarkable character is how he can withstand all of these different interpretations and different styles and, that's what makes a classic character a classic character; they keep coming back and you see them in a new way every time.
