You can make five massive hits in a row and still not get cast by the directors you want to work with, doing little movies. There are no guarantees. I'm trying to sign up and do movies that I'll be proud of, if it's my last one. That's how I think about it.

People just project their idea of my character on to me and they just seem to assume that I'm the same, when in reality I'm not.

People who are the most normal are probably the most crazy.

I don't know [what things are forever]. Friendship. I can think of lots of things.

I don't listen to anyone else. That's why I don't have a publicist or something like that. I can't stand it if someone's trying to tell me to do something which might be a mistake sometimes.

I don't know. I'd like to think that I haven't changed that much. Within myself I don't think I've changed.

You really, really feel like you have no control [participating in franchise] . I mean, it's a huge juggernaut, especially when something becomes part of the cultural landscape in a way as well. It's really scary because you get trapped and you get scared of changing, which is the worst thing that can happen if you want to be any kind of artist.
