If a religious person says "No, no, no" and they won't listen to science, it makes me think that they don't have faith in their own religion.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

I think my audience is smart. If there's a way to be entertained and get things out - real things, not stupid moral crap - that's the best.

I was really impressed with Naomi [Watts]. She was a producer, and she was doing things that I wasn't really aware of. The way she was able to switch from handling problems to shoot a really difficult scene, I think is a real testament to her true ability.

Well, the first thing I wanted to be was a carpenter. Then I wanted to be a painter and then a singer. It was when I first saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' that I wanted to be an actor.

I saw the main character played by Mads Mikkelsen, and he's amazing. Hannibal had that going for it.

I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .
