You hold all of our futures in your hands. So you better make it good.
There is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God...
As time goes on, I will play characters who get older: I don't want to be some Botoxed weirdo.
What I didn't realize is how completely consumed I would be by my sons. I didn't know that the rest of my life would become so little a priority.
I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.
All of the thinking and planning that you do to get there, and then, in one minute, in one second, it just doesn't matter. It goes out the window. You either got it or you didn't. There is something kind of refreshing about that.
You guys might be surprised but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child.
If you had been a public figure from the time you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, than maybe to you might value privacy above all else. I have given everything up there from the time that I was three-years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?
I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn't have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience.
I also feel like I've learned over the years what is not important, and that is also great: to know what is pointless to spend your energy on, to be more specific.
I wish that I spoke more languages. I speak a couple languages, but not well enough to really dub myself. French is really the only one, and it's a difficult thing.
I will always love psychology, and the basis of psychology is family.
I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.
I didn't grow up really wanting to be an actor. I don't remember ever not being an actor.
