One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest in things. That's why I think it is important to stay passionate.

I love working with younger actors because they always come into the game full of energy and ideas that challenge me and keep me learning and stimulated.

I'm at the point now where I know I'm doing something right when a movie gets mixed reviews, because then I'm not in the box. I don't want to make it too easy for people and I don't want to make it too easy for myself. I want to try something unusual.

I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear.

And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.

I'm always going to judge somebody on their work ethic, and whether or not they made me feel something, or whether or not I felt they did a good job. To me, it's important to try to block anything personal out and look at the performance, in any field.

Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.
