There are some directors I should have worked with. I`d like to have worked with Robert Altman - I turned him down a couple of times when I was younger. My thing now is if it`s a good director I`ll never say no - I`m just gonna say yes from now on.

I can safely say that no one who has ever won an Oscar didn't want to win an Oscar.

I just don't think I've ever been comfortable at public functions and selling myself as an entity.

My father was raised in the mountains of New Mexico, and he picked cotton for a dollar a day. He was working for the family from the time he was 7.

It sounds corny to say, but the theater is sacred; something transcendent can occur, and when it does, everyone grows. It's a true communion.

I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.

I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.
