In my work I have complete control, but about my life, I don't want to.

I have been in control of what I've been doing, of the career I've put together.

The only people who have control over their careers are the ones you see on the covers of magazines. Everyone else is just plodding along making a living. The key is not to live over your means and overdo it.

I only have control over what I do.

I've never been very good at manipulating my career, but fortunately I haven't needed to.

You have to take control of your own life, your own destiny, and your own careers. You can't leave everything up to someone else, 'cause then you can look at them and blame them.

The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that you're not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, you'll make yourself unhappy, because life doesn't work like that. So much is luck. It's much better to let yourself off, to think, 'There's nothing I can do.'

I can do whatever I want, because my career is a certain thing.

You need to have a life outside your career.

Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.
