It's just poetry, beauty and love. How hard can that be to act?

Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me

I think I've always been a follow-the-leader with my career, or maybe waiting for things to happen. Now I'm like, I'm OK-I know the direction, whoever's on board can go with me.

After every movie, I always kick myself for the same things-didn't do enough, not enough variation, not enough interesting choices, too bland.

Is that romantic fantasy real? Um, after kids, no. Take the kids away, I don't know. Depends.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that

I turned down a lot of things that were so-called commercial. You're coming out of one film, and then they want you to be in the same one.
