Every star has that certain something that stands out and compels us to notice them.

I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.

If you look at yourself as a star, you've already lost something in the portrayal of any human being.

As it gets closer and more probable, being a star is really losing its meaning.

From an early age, I understood the concept that, if you're not the star, then your job is to not pull attention away from the star.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

You think of stars as ambitious or aggressive or self-oriented.

You know what may be the oddest thing about being a star? Stars have an effect on people. It's a responsibility, and it's frightening.

When I'm shooting, I don't care who the star is. I have an actor playing a part, and I'm serving the script, not serving anyone's career.

And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
