A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.

If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.

I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

To be a movie star, you have to invent yourself.

I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.

I'm very much more choosy now. I do stuff that I really, really, really like.
