I would have loved to have been an architect - which, actually, would have been a disaster.
I love 'Annie Hall,' but then I adore 'Hannah and Her Sisters.' Dianne Wiest is amazing in 'Bullets Over Broadway,' but her in 'Hannah and Her Sisters,' I absolutely loved it.
I think my understanding of different types of love has certainly deepened.
I think when you fall in love, whether you're heterosexual, transgender, gay, lesbian, whatever, straight, you feel like it's happening to you for the first time.
When you fall in love with someone, you're not really changing at all. You're really just reliving something that already happened at some point.
The thing I love about live performance the most, is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage.
I love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.
I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pajamas with the kids.'
I love dressing up, although that doesn't mean necessarily on the school run.
I've been pretty lucky in the leading men department.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
People tend to look great if they feel great.
People had always vaguely mentioned that when you have children, how part of your life would stop. But they don't say that some other extraordinary part of your life opens up.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at just doing nothing.
