I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left right after high school.

Actors are always weird about acting with their spouse or their boyfriend or girlfriend, but more because they think audiences will find it boring.

I'm always studying something or trying to learn something, keep myself creatively occupied, because I think that energy can get kind of destructive if it doesn't have somewhere to go.

I know that every actor that I know, when Daniel Day-Lewis does a film, and he doesn't work that often, but we run to the theater to see what he's up to, and with such delicious excitement. The same goes for Meryl Streep.

I feel lucky to be an actor because you always learn something from each part you play.

In real life, I don't fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.
