I come from the theatre where there are no boundaries to the style you're doing; you're doing Molière, then you're doing Chekhov and then you're doing Arthur Miller in a season and no-one bats an eye.

I didn't like the distance between my family and myself that I was experiencing from having to work all the time.

I like extremes. I like to change things up and keep from getting complacent or stale.

Studio movies are looking more like independent movies and independent movies are looking more like studio movies, and I think cinema is better now because of it.

I try to do the things that speak to me in one way or another, and sometimes I'm even drastic.

A leader in America or anyone who says they truly care about this nation without taking some kind of action is either a liar or insane. In either case, they are unfit to lead.

We are turning our grief into winnable actions.

I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing.

Do theater. Because you'll develop a craft that you'll always have. It'll give you a chance to really learn how to act and you won't go into the world with a few measly tricks that will only carry you so far.

Yeah, there's a tendency to get pigeonholed in Hollywood.

We'll engage in pretty extreme violence in the world but, you know, the one thing that comes to humans as easily as eating or breathing or sleeping, is sex.

I've just been more interested in doing film right now and I don't want to go away from my family for six months, which was what I would have had to have done if I did the play on Broadway.

I don't understand how people can take a gentle, loving life and treat it with such cruelty.

I don't know, one out of every two marriages ends up in divorce so there's a lot of great people out there who people aren't happy with.

I didn't really have any interest in producing anything.

I don't want to feel like I'm stuck doing one-stock performances.

Literally, I think I've quit acting three or four times, only for a few days. Maybe for a few weeks.

You can tell a lot about a person by what’s on their playlist.

That's what I love about music...all these banalities suddenly turn into these beautiful, effervescent pearls.

Certainly, it's very easy to fall in love with cash. If you're going to make all your decisions based on cash, you're going to have a pretty naffy career.

Lost things. They claw through the membranes, attempting to summon our attention through an indecipherable mayday. Words tumble in helpless disorder. The dead speak. We have forgotten how to listen.

Oh, to be reborn within the pages of a book.

[W]ithout a doubt we sometimes eclipse our own dreams with reality.
