The thing that's so exciting when you're making a film is that it can be anything and there are no limitations on it.

I dont feel like I would be a good mentor. I dont know what I have to offer in that respect. I do this for pretty selfish reasons.

In New York, you're forced to deal with life; it's there in front of you on a daily basis.

I’ve been lucky, so lucky, working with [...] Rachel (McAdams) on The Notebook. A big draw for me, when I do a film, is who am I going to be opposite, because there’s only so much I can do on my own.

I've learned it's important not to limit yourself. You can do whatever you really love to do, no matter what it is.

I am pretty sick with myself! It seemed a pretty good idea at the time. Around the time I turned 30, I started to feel very creative, more creative than I had been before which is good and I like that.
