In order for something to be born, something has to die.That's not always, but there is something about that that I find to be true. That is, it's a natural thing.

There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don't just have to do with career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That's really a luxury problem.

I know some really great actors who are pretty judgmental people, pretty critical people. But they're great actors. When they're acting, that's the craft.

You have to have a personal connection. You have to really want to do it, because if you don't, investing yourself personally, your thoughts, your emotions, yourself into a part, is something you're not going to want to do as much.

Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.

Learning how to die is therefore learning how to live.

I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.
