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

I didn't worry about what DeNiro thought... I went in, looked him in the eye, and got the part. I was confident, even though I'd never done anything like it before. Now I realise it was ignorant confidence-I had no idea.

When I can't immediately define the character, and there's an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that's when I say yes.

You see, I think negative emotions are always trumped by positive emotions.

I remember when I first started having these interpretations of these images, these clichés of what movie stars are and this and that, and they're egomaniacal pricks and tyrants, but in general, for the most part, they're nice people to tell you the truth.

I don't think my parents would be shocked about anything I did, because they're so laid-back.

If we do not act together, we will surely perish.
