I dig my heels in every now and then, and think 'I'm not going to do what's expected or what people think is the right thing.' So I have a little bit of that in my personality.

Once I start putting all my little insecurities in my mind, I'm not actually acting. Then it's about me - and it should never be about me. It should be about the character.

I do have to say my daughter, Sunday, said to me [I was being] overprotective, so you must have been a fly on the wall.

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

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."

No matter how much you're going to be criticized or no matter how big of a risk it is, the boldness is the thing that helps you

I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.
