I've just got to maintain my passion for what I do.

Most of the time I just keep to myself. I think like what it would be like to be... someone else.

I've been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be.

(Acting) certainly comes-100 percent-from the need to be loved. Any actor who says this isn't true is lying.

I'm probably not going to get married unless I live with somebody for 10 or 20 years. But these people, Romeo and Juliet, took a chance and they did it. We don't have the balls that Romeo did.

We were both [ with Russel Crowe] hand-plucked to do [The Quick and the Death]. He had done Romper Stomper and I had done Gilbert Grape and so we were hand- plucked to do this big budget film. So we were both very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

You can make history, or you will be vilified by it.
