I do believe there is enormous possibility to change this world.

I just want to be nominated; beggars can't be choosers.

I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are perceiving you.

When I was working with Stanley Kubrick [on "Eyes Wide Shut"], he would always say, "You never tell the audience what to feel. Let them choose to have their responses."

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 love just sitting quietly meditating. With an hour free, it depends. I love getting down on the floor and playing with my kids.
