We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8.

America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.

What led me to that was I have never - I mean, I watch movies and I don't care who is the protagonist. I feel what that guy is feeling. You know, if it's Tom Cruise leaping over a building - I want to make it, you know? And I'm going to - yes, I made it. And yeah, so I get that.

I thought, "Why? and how did we evolve with this weak, and useless passion in tact within the deep heart's core?" And the answer as I've formulated it to myself is that empathy is the engine that powers all the best in us.

You didn't have to work to keep your fear up, your energy up, or your anxiety. It is all kind of built into the process.

I don't like to be gone all weekend and at night too. Because for 20 years, I've had children who are in school.
