The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself.

When I'm promoting a film, I'm not going to get caught up in anything else, and that includes all my personal things.

I've never done work for money, ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

I've gotten very good at scheduling my life, scheduling the scene and preparing myself for knowing, saving the energy, consuming the energy, knowing when to go for it and having the available reserves to be able to do that. You have to think about that, because it's endurance.

Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.

Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.
