I love Cate Blanchett: she takes risks, but is still refind.

With fame, all of a sudden you're seeing yourself through the eyes of a world of men, and that's . . . Look, it's very weird to have part and parcel of a job to feel like you're a lure for men to come into the theater. Some people do have a very innate sexuality to them. I may or may not have it, but it makes people see you in a certain light that has nothing to do with me.

I was a boy in the ads I did as a child. My sister was the girl, and I was the boy. I had short hair and I was in overalls and I was giving flowers to my sister Daisy, who fit their model of what a girl was supposed to look like.

The awesome thing about being an artist? You can't be fired from your own mind.

I am going to be pretty kick a$$ by the time I'm thirty, and I can't wait!!

I realized a career is built as much on what you don't do as what you do do.

I would like Obama to be tougher on going up against the Republicans, I don't think he should try to be so moderate.
