My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.

Well, I'm a consumer as well. I go to the movies with my popcorn and believe everything I see.

In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.

I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

I can't wait til I get the chance to be a character and how my face looks isn't the first consideration.

The least consideration of any film I've ever worked on is who is right for it.

You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.

Cause I won't repeat myself, the way I dress and look.

My idols are all older.

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.

When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.

Sometimes the signs and signals of the non-language speaking world are not very clear. Then we have to walk in trust, move forward step by small step, until we are sure of the proper path.

Happiness does not depend on a possession. Happiness depends on action and perception.

Videogames are a little more work and they're a little more stilted.

You see, we all want the same things. We want to be able to take care of our families, provide for our children, to have a roof over our heads and a good-paying job.

All progress comes from the creative minority.

I am positively against all this crap which is carried on first in the name of this thing, then in the name of that. I believe only in what is active, immediate, and personal.

Man is a singular creature. He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals, so that unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape, he is the shaper of the landscape.

I want to be as feminine and classic as possible.

It's very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.
