In a lot of ways, I envy someone like Omar Sharif who lived in a hotel for decades.

I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.

I'm optimistic about people and about the planet and about nature. I think it's resilient, like people are.

I was raised speaking English and Spanish. And I also speak Danish. And I can get by in French and Italian. I've acted in Spanish and English, but when something has to do with emotions, sometimes I feel I can get to the heart of the matter better in Spanish.

Travel is one of the best anti-war weapons that there are. I've been to Iran, and if you're there you see little kids, cops, old people, cemeteries. Once you see that, you can't say, 'Oh, Iran, let's bomb them.'

I know people who prepare their roles in such a way that they technically look ahead and memorize their gestures, and then they stick to it. Those that are technically proficient enough can make it seem natural, but they do that and don't really take in what other people are doing.

You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.
