What art does is it makes you feel alive and makes you feel like you're connected.

Toronto Film Festival is one of those festivals where there are 400 movies, and unless you have a distributor who is super confident and puts a lot of money into it, sometimes movies can go unwatched or unnoticed.

People talk about method actors, meaning someone that's prepared very, very well, or whatever they mean when they talk about it. But the right method is whatever works for you. And what works for me on any given day is going to be different.

When I land in a country and they ask for 'occupation,' I always just put 'artist.' I think that covers all of it.

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 love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.

Here's where we are, this is what's happening. So do something, or get out of the kitchen.
