I very much prefer the balance in a scene to standing out and so you have to make a decision

I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.

Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.

I've been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don't know how good we're going to be received in America because that's where it's most challenging

I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.
