We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.

It's a great role for any age. Any actress wishes they would find a screenplay that means as much to them as "Aquarius" meant to me, as a person and a citizen.

The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.

I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.

Women at my age they are making love, they are feeling sensual, they flirt, they have boyfriends, they have a sexual life. They are just not being represented in the movies.

It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.

I'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.

No matter how much we try to keep things in order, life seems determined to scatter Legos under our bare feet.

The realization that my parents, too, felt pain and fear frightened me more than any strangers could.

Many times I sit back and say, 'I can't believe that this is my life!' Other times, I feel self-satisfied. I mean, there's a lot to be proud and thankful for but, nonetheless, it's just a life!

Sweep away the clutter of things that complicate our lives.

A lemon drop. They're a kind of Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of.

I learned how to get in shape without getting certain muscles too big that make you look like a meathead.

There have been situations where the people you're around have one vision for you, and it's like trying on a jacket that doesn't fit.

Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing. Turn out your toes as you walk. And remember who you are!

I think the important thing now, getting closer to the pitch counts, it feels like I got something left. I felt I could have gone out and thrown another 20-25 pitches.

Too much virtue has a corrupting effect.
