I think that every person has many, many people inside of them. We change our personality depending on who we are talking to or what situation we are in.

Any nominations a movie gets helps to raise the level of curiosity in the public, so in that sense awards and nominations are important.

I like a twisted sense of humour. On 'A History of Violence,' David Cronenberg and I would be doing the grimmest scenes and laugh a lot.

I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.

I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I'm not going to get to all the places I want to go.

There are people that grandstand and seem to be publicly politically engaged because they like the attention, more than because they're genuinely concerned about the world. But I don't think that's the majority.

I like stories that leave you wanting more, leave you wondering, but don't tell you everything.
