Looking back - I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.

Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.

I remember when I first started being in magazines, I had pretty thin skin. I was this nerd that read books and stayed home and didn't go out.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

I'd always find the positive in someone.

I think it's really important to have a life and have interests outside of this [movie] business, and not rely on this business to validate you as a human being. If you do that, you're really in a dangerous spot.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.
