never wants to feel resentful on a film again. I can never work again for a bad person with a huge ego.
Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.
I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.
But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.
I'm really not a clothes person. To me, that's just work. It's the thing I hate to do the most. I don't want to be judged in that way.
I want to change the system from within the system. And that means focusing and specializing.
As time goes on, I will play characters who get older: I don't want to be some Botoxed weirdo.
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. It made me think, "Gee, I don't know if I ever want to do this again." And I love theater. I love going. I love the experience of theater. But I am not sure it's for me.

Each brings his prejudices to the table. At first, she thinks he's a heathen and a barbarian. Then, he reminds her that her native England has invaded other countries, and the English believe their way is the only way. As they grow to understand each other, it becomes a love story.
Every time I go to leave for work he'll say, 'Are you going to be an astronaut today and find space aliens?' ... I'll say, 'No, honey. No spacesuit for me today.
Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.
