I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
Some people die before their time so that others can live. It's a cornerstone of civilization.
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
I'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
I wasn`t really raised to be the type of person to have doubts.
I love to watch good actors who surprise and amuse me.
I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.
It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch.
I don't think my parents know what I do.
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.
