The most important thing when you do a movie is that you find an audience that really understands what you want to do and is really supportive of it.

What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.

Because of the incredible reputation I have, people find me exciting to watch on film.

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.

Every time I make a movie, I'm prepared for it to become influential and career-defining - but I have no control over these things.

Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.

If people enjoy your movies, that's the most important thing.

You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.

Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.

One of the things I've learned over the years is that you only do what you can do as an actor. You do the best job you can, but you have no control over so many elements that are going to determine the outcome of that film. I never pay attention to what happens after.
