The greatest single human gift is the ability to chase down our dreams.

All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.

Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.

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.

I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process

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.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
