I'm probably more personal when I'm acting than at any other time. More open, more direct. Because it allows me to be something that I can't always feel comfortable with when I'm living my own life, you know? Because it's make-believe.

Films are always a fiction, not documentary. Even a documentary is a kind of fiction.

In life, do you ever really know if you're missing an opportunity? No, you really don't.

When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.

The weight comes off, you know? If you stop with the bread and the pie, it really does. It really works.

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.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.
