Everybody should be normal. Everybody should be nice. I think they go hand in hand, and that to me is the default setting.

Six-year-olds are very wrapped up in their own lives, and that's the way it should be.

Don't underestimate your kids. Don't be condescending, because they're children but they're not stupid.

I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.

You never saw Peter Sellers the actor trying to make you laugh. All he was doing was the character. What I'm saying is that I don't think you should know you're in a movie. I don't like it when actors are winking at the audience and saying, 'Right, isn't this funny? Are you with me?'

I've waited my entire life to be busy. Whenever I hear actors complain about being busy, I think, 'shut up.' Because you do, you wait to be successful or to be able to work.

As a parent, all you want is for your kids to be safe but you don’t want to be over-protective and so you know that at some stage, they’re going to make their own mistakes and get hurt emotionally when all you want to do is protect them from that.
