If we could just trust the moment that we're in and live it in the way that you best can embrace it, it would be much better for all of us.

What you want, as an actor, is a great leader. I can't bear it when I work with a director who is wishy-washy and says, "What did you think?"

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

It'll take me a lot longer to read a script if there's no director attached.

I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.

I think film is a director's medium and the good filmmakers that I like tell the darker stories. Therefore, I'm always inclined to follow people like David Cronenberg.

My spirit had been broken a bit over the years by my having to work on films I didn't love. Hollywood's a surreal place, and it really is an assault on your spirit.
