For me, one of my favorites, director-wise, is Tim Burton. I also really admire the work of actors like Sean Penn. He is probably my favorite actor because of his dedication and commitment to roles, and the ability to morph and change himself when he needs to. It's about dedication and commitment and a passion.

As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.

I love Frank Capra. He believed in the goodness of people and one man's ability to fight and often triumph.

There are a lot of actors that are insanely talented, so I don't say who my favorite is anymore.

I admired Stephen Daldry very much; I think he's a brilliant director, and also, I feel close to him because he has a lot of theater behind him. He's also a man of great imagination and a lovely sense of humor.

I absolutely love Leonardo DiCaprio.

I've never seen anyone - and I've had the opportunity to work with some really terrific actors in my time - but Philip Seymour Hoffman is definitely the best I ever had the opportunity to work with.
