I've never been to Buffalo. And we're having a fantastic time here. I'm a little surprised by the turnout and a little overwhelmed. And thank you all so much. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come into your neighborhood. And we just want to say thank you.
I'm so surprised by the turnout today and a little overwhelmed, so thank you very much. How grateful we all are to be here and to thank you all for letting us invade your streets and film here. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come in to your neighborhoods and we just wanna say thank you.
If this movie threatens or challenges you, then there's something else you should look at. People are so scared to touch on these issues. The good thing about this movie is that it forces you to do that.
I have never been so impressed with anyone in rehearsal in my life as I was with her,
It is tough staying in touch with family and friends and trying to have a relationship, all of that stuff is hard. It takes a very special man to put up with it.
I've got my own demons to deal with.
I wanted to make sure that this movie would be balanced, that both sides of the argument would be fully represented. I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be a movie that would tell people what to think. But just to think in general.
I don't think I'm exactly gregarious, you know. I'm not usually known as the loud person in the room.
I've seen the greatest actors in the world, transcendent talents, who can't find a home.
All the things that most kids hated, I loved. I loved that things were asked of me and that, much to my surprise, I was able to do them. I loved the 10 o'clock bedtime. I loved the responsibility.
A lot of what is publicized now is really pretty trivial stuff - you know, what I eat for breakfast, where I have my pedicures, questions that I just cannot for the life of me understand why someone would want to know that.
Just because you're not famous, doesn't mean you're not good.
I'm lucky because I don't like being in the sun a whole lot, just because the repercussions for me - I feel it, I go very red.
I had a good imagination and I still have one; a child-like imagination that hasn't gone away.
