[J.F] Kennedy's own accent was inconsistent. So people are inconsistent. And it always kind of irks me when people talk about inconsistent accents, because people are imperfect by nature. So in the end, what you do is, you do an inhabitation and not an imitation.

I've always found women more interesting than men.

I'll be a role model on my terms, but don't make a role model on your terms.

[Doctor Cukrowicz] was basically a role where you have two diva actresses - Maggie Smith and Natasha Richardson - and my role was to say, "And then what happened? Tell me more." But I wanted to do it was because a) it was Tennessee Williams, a great writer, and b) it was Richard Eyre, an amazing director. And to work with those two amazing women!

[Jodie Foster] is one of my favorite actors and people in the business.

The best part is not the biggest, it's the one that's most memorable.

As an actor, you deal in fantasy, imagination, and concentration. Those are your three weapons. Those are your bullets.
