People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.

I know that obviously, that if you want to get the story, if you want to get close to somebody, if you want to find out what is really the truth or what's really interesting, you have to create a trust between these two things, between the journalist and the subject.

Success isn't what makes you happy. It really isn't. Success is doing what makes you happy and doing good work and hopefully having a fruitful life. If I've felt like I've done good work, that makes me happy. The success part of it is all gravy.

I would never not work on the part without it playing. That's what being an actor is. You use everything that's influenced you to help you get out of yourself or be more creative.

Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.

Actors are responsible to the people we play. I don't label or judge. I just play them as honestly and expressively and creatively as I can.

One person's religion is another person's cult.
