I always had a problem with original sin; I always had a problem with the exclusivity of the church and a lot of the things that the nuns taught me.

The only time I've really been away from my kids to do work was doing Shall We Dance because they both were in camp and it was the first time in twenty years that I haven't been with my kids.

I believe in using words, not fists.

I hesitate to direct even though I feel I contribute a lot on a set.

The directors I consider really great have the ability to recognize when something's going in an unexpected direction and see it as a bonus and be able to go with it, as opposed to locking down what they thought was going to happen.

Sometimes when you have to go into something, unless you're gifted and can just turn it on and off like a jukebox, you find someplace where there's nothing going on to get yourself into whatever state your character is entering into.

It helps me chill out and focus.
