Before I made a film, I thought it was easy.
It took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of being photographed by a moving or still camera.
I can be a real pessimist. You know that when you win an Oscar, and you walk offstage, and your first thought is: 'Oh God, I've peaked.'
There's very little reason in politics these days.
You don't ever really get to know Woody Allen.
All cities do face similar, significant trends in the future... most importantly global warming and climate change.
I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.
Of course one worries about getting older - we're all fearful of death, let's not kid ourselves. I'm simply not panicking as my laugh lines grow deeper. Who wants a face with no history, no sense of humor?
See the opportunity in the misstep.

You know, when you see yourself on a big screen, I tend to watch from behind my hands. There is absolutely the regret. You always get that at the end of every project. That's what's great about theater: at least every night you get the chance to go out and re-offend. I'm endlessly disappointed, which is what propels me into the next project, probably, not to repair the damage but to kind of hopefully keep developing. Otherwise there's no reason to keep doing it, is there?
Maybe this is my morality coming in again but it was important to me that the actor [ in Notes On A Scandal] was above the age of consent. Although really, what's the difference between 15 and 16? It's the law, yeah, but he's very mature.
You can only desire something that you've already had in your life.
I do tend to move on anyway. This is a part of my life, but it doesn't rule my life.
