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

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.

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.

And I think a lot of us have fantasies of going back to where we're from, or when we do go back we're so nostalgic about it.

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. If I think too much about what roles there will be, or what will be, then I get into trouble there. I just try to be grateful for jobs like Promised Land, that somebody wants me to play this role, or thinks that I could be Alice. The thought of, like, spending my time at the dermatologist's office is not for me.

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