Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business. He loved it so much.

My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life. I really had a cool foundation.

Often, when I finish a film, I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.'

My M.O. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me. I'm in this wonderful position to be able to do that.

Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.

The hoopla with all the award season is kind of mind-boggling. It kind of puts you on your heels.

Myths are wonderful tools that we've had, oh, for eons now that help us navigate the situations we find ourselves in.

Well, when we made 'Tron' there was no internet, no cellphones.

You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.

I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.

Any role that big is going to be a challenge for any actor, but for an actor of a young age, it's going to be even tougher.

Directing takes a lot of time.

I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.

I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.

So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.

Tightness gets in the way of everything, except tightness.

I don't really think in career terms.

Life's picking up speed.

I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.

Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.

I'm not real good at romance.

It's funny. You succeed, but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.

I'm light and airy.

I like people.
