Well, I'm very stubborn. I think I have common sense; I'm probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I'm strong.

De Niro is a classic example of somebody who is iconic and who sort of effortlessly puts actors at ease the moment you meet him. I think it's also just something that he innately does with people.

I can't imagine myself blowing up supermarkets!

Most people in the world have seen more of me on-screen than my kids have.

People who are rude to waiters... I don't like that sort of thing. People who take cuts in line... it doesn't fly!

I'd been taking singing lessons and I had taken dance, because I loved to dance, but I had never considered myself a professional at all.

One of the things I love most about acting is just disappearing in the role, as much as I can. I think that's one of the things that intrigued me about it.
