'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.

I love 'Forrest Gump;' I like sweet, cheery, happy movies. But it has some dark moments too.

I have a lot of those 'Forrest Gump,' I-was-there moments.

For some people, I will be Forrest Gump for the rest of my life. But that's OK; that's a good thing.

I got my story, my dream, from America. The hero I had is Forrest Gump... I like that guy. I've been watching that movie about 10 times. Every time I get frustrated, I watch the movie. I watched the movie before I came here again to New York. I watched the movie again telling me that no matter whatever changed, you are you.

I turned down 'Forrest Gump.'

'Forrest Gump' was great, it was fabulous. It lasted much longer than anybody thought, and brought me a degree of attention that no human being on the face of the planet deserves.

I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. Good movie, bad movie, it doesn't matter - I just like his movies.

I thought he was an interesting central figure, central character, one who is definitely not your typical central character figure in a film, who's easy to like. He's not easy to like. It forces you to involve yourself with what's going on.

It's a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful, and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior.
