I don't usually read self-help books, but I read a great book by a guy called Wayne Dyer: 'The Power of Intention,' which I loved.
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
More than anything, what we do as actors is to sit and watch, and I would never want to get so lost in the celebrity bubble I couldn't do that because my feet no longer touch the ground.
I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell.
Critics think we try to make bad films. They think we want to spend five months of our lives making something bad. We always go out with the best of intentions, whether it's fluffy comedy or a drama.
What am I going to tweet about? My sneakers?
If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?
I have worked hard to get where I am.
I don't think there's anything better than talk therapy.
L.A.'s a pretty, warm, easy, breezy place. You can sunbathe, get a Mai Tai, and wake up five months later. And it's still sunny. And they're still serving Mai Tais.
I don't know any kid that's not afraid at some point going to bed with the lights off, totally. That's why they make nightlights.
Theatre is so much fun because you do theatre and you have a month of working it out on your own, and then a month of rehearsal, so by the time you get to stage I know where I'm failing and I know where I'm succeeding and your boundaries are pretty concrete.
The great thing about theater is that you have so much time to prepare, and to fail, before presenting it to the public. In film, the high-wire act seems to be that much farther up, and the net seems to be less there.
My nana was an actress, my mom was an actress, and my sister, too. So because I was surrounded by it, it really came naturally.
