“If I tried to somehow wrap my head around the fact that Francis Ford Coppola directed my first movie, there's never a slot into which that ever fits in your mind.”
“There's movies that I would've loved to be in that I just wasn't even considered for because they need a name. And that happens so frequently that, after a while - from a creative standpoint - you just want to be able to have that opportunity to work with the best people. That opportunity is available to you with a certain level of notoriety.”
“I think it would be frustrating having to do things you wouldn't want to do, having to make movies you didn't like.”
“Oh, I've been ridiculously lucky to work for, I'd say, five of the greatest directors of all time... and a lot of other great people, too.”
“My parents were big film buffs.”
“Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.”
“I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation: it's a calling. You have an inner intuition, an inner 'yes.' I don't know if it's destined or not, but certainly I couldn't imagine being the person I am today without the romantic experiences I've had.”
“I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.”
“It's just cool to have lunch with Harrison Ford.”
“I was told one time never to go longer than an hour in an interview because you reveal yourself too much, but I never follow that rule.”
“I find it remarkable. It's surreal for me that I've gotten to work with so many people who are not only great filmmakers but whose films have had such a direct effect on me.”
“There's a lot of directors I'd still love to work with - one of them is Spielberg, because he kind of started my career, and I've not worked with him yet.”
“Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.”
“Paul Newman made eight of my favorite movies. He chose a certain kind of movie I really identified with.”
