You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film.

I think anybody who knows how to make a good movie knows that it's a collaborative undertaking. To deny that is really dangerous.

I finally realized that yeah I did want to be an actor and it wasn't out of habit, but I needed to grow up for myself and then kind of re-enter the industry with a sound understanding of what my sensibilities and my values are as a relatively formed human being.

I became very successful at a young age... I had lots of opportunities and lots of power and had no idea how to focus it.

When I was 18 I went to college for two years and didn't work for a year which was essential for me, because my identity had been so influenced by my being an actor and I think I just needed to discover what it was to be myself, divorced from all that responsibility.

I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.
