I am very shy - really shy - I even had a stutter as a kid, which I slowly got over, but I still regress into that shyness. So I don't like walking into a crowded restaurant by myself; I don't like going to a party by myself.

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

If you're going to be with someone, you're with them, you're committed to them. I'm not sort of flitting around.

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I've always felt is a sign of respect for others.

My mother said I was always an intense child, a very sensitive child. So that probably helped the emotions to be very present. I was just a big thinker. I would evaluate and analyze and feel and cry and discuss and be angry. All of those emotions were very surface for me.

I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

It's the warmest, loveliest community I've ever set foot in. For me, it's the perfect place to live. It's the best part of America.
