You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before.

Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.

I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work.

I can't stand most things that I see.

If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.

I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

People say, When you have children, everything changes. But maybe things are awakened that were already there.

I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other.

The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.

Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
