There's such an advantage to being involved in the day-to-day details of each other's lives. It's a marvelous fabric to exist in.

The truth is that everyone pays attention to who's number one at the box office. And none of it matters, because the only thing that really exists is the connection the audience has with a movie.

There isn't any great mystery about me. What I do is glamorous and has an awful lot of white-hot attention placed on it. But the actual work requires the same discipline and passion as any job you love doing, be it as a very good pipe fitter or a highly creative artist.

Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.

The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely, even when you are.

But actors with political views are a dime a dozen.

I'm not saying I'm not bummed if a movie doesn't do well, but that isn't the final analysis of whether it's any good.
