To do work that's not going to be fulfilling doesn't make sense.

Two things I'm trying to work on are openness and flexibility.

It's tricky to say 'never,' but I will never have plastic surgery.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

I see my job as an actor to be as good a channel as I can be. Acting is a gift, and I have respect for it.

We need art. We've been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival.

It's been very important for me to follow my gut or my heart, or whichever organ you want to go by.
