If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.

It's not good for people to have the safety net too low... People can take care of themselves better than we allow them to.

I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.

Oh yeah, that's the Holy Grail, Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp, he's the real deal, isn't he? He doesn't get the girl, and he doesn't care.

Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

The roughest part is showing up. Once you throw yourself into the scene, it's just great fun to let it all go and not be self-conscious, and stop questioning whether you're sufficient.

Every scene has two people who want two different things, so there's conflict in every scene. You've got to duke it out, and you've got to get the other person to change his or her mind and do it your way.
