You'll nip anybody who's coming at you with bullshit. You don't play around. You take this craft very seriously. It's what separates you, what separates an actor from an artist.

I believe in continuing to put love and kindness and compassion and art into the world.

I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn't notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection.

Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.

Refuse to let your circumstances make you bitter. Do what you must to make them better.

I believe the experiences of life are more important than any film you make.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don't think you ever abandon any of them.
