You look at somebody's work as an actor and you can see their emotional life being fed into it and you can kind of feel them through it.
I look at everything I’ve done critically - but I think that’s the job of an actor. If you ever sit on your laurels or think that you’re good - in a way, I don’t then think you’re pushing yourself.
My path was to be an actor and it’s been very good to me in life. It’s broadened my horizons and given me a lot of gifts.
I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.
An actor who's a control freak, that doesn't work. We have to be malleable. We cannot come in and try to control or dominate.

have to play a 22-year-old, and she's nearly 40. ... They said, 'How about Hilary Swank?' I said, 'Great, fine, whoever.' I would have said, 'Great, fine, whoever,' if they had said Roseanne Barr. I stopped paying attention because I'm focusing on my future, not my past.
My kids and the film Moulin Rouge! are the two things that are my shining lights.
If I packaged toothpaste and told you you were gonna get half the toothpaste in the tube, you probably wouldn't buy it.
I'd like to be wise. You have to go through a lot to get there, but I'm willing to go through a lot.
