In this life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve - it's what you take!

I always look for a challenge and something that's different.

When I first started out all the attention could be a bit unnerving, especially when people stared. Now I find the best thing is to just relax. Being recognized is just something you have to get used to.

Stanley Kubrick was very selective when he went into a close-up. Every director has his taste in a performance, but Stanley would explore a scene to find what was most interesting for him.

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

Perception and reality are two different things.

I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.
