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.

I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly.

Regrets are ridiculous, so I don’t regret, no.

They give us access to another world, they give us access to dreams. It's our way of living in a different realm for a short period of time - and how beautiful is that?

As an actor you don't control the end result. Because you're a director, you get to control the end result. I think for us, we really have to show up and participate and give. And then let go.

You've got to find your bliss as a human being, because if you can follow that, everything else falls into place.

The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.
