When it's working, what acting is really about is getting into the essence of a moment in a creative, joyous way - through whatever frees you up.

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.

You can rest a lot in an hour or have a whole day and not do it properly. One way I get a quality recharge is to connect with nature. To experience something that's bigger than me.

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

I love Central Park. I spend a lot of time in there. I try and get in there whenever I can.

I felt that the biological clock was some myth to keep me from doing what I wanted to do. And so I rebelled against it in the '90s. I thought it was a backlasher, some sort of faulty data. But it's real. I'm glad I woke up before my body was just like 'uh-uh.

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