I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same time I know that I have to let it go.

The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done

I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.

I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.

It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.

Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure

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