I like to think the movies that I've picked have something worthwhile to say. Something relevant.

I got into acting because I wanted to act and I love acting. That's my true north: to be creative and to be challenged in what I love to do.

My dad [...] sent me a text saying, 'You know who you should play? Columbo. That's your Academy Award.'

It really is the relationship you have with your self that presents the key to the “kingdom”, so to speak... Fighting is good, but not when it is fighting yourself. Changing the world is good but first one has to start inside and concurrently make that place right. The strife and the ugliness in the world is the outward manifestation of this troubled relationship we have within on a whole.

People are like, 'How does Julianne Moore look naked?' I don't know. She was pressed up against me the whole time. I couldn't look at her.

A leader in America or anyone who says they truly care about this nation without taking some kind of action is either a liar or insane. In either case, they are unfit to lead.

Even if my movies weren't big blockbusters, directors generally liked me, so they would fight for me.
