It really hit home that my parents felt as though they didn't have to worry anymore. They realized if you could win an Oscar, that was a good sign.
I see my job as an actor to be as good a channel as I can be. Acting is a gift, and I have respect for it.
I'm interested in fashion; I buy fairly good pieces, and I think as I've gotten older, I've pared down a lot.
I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
With any good story, you need the adversary, the heroes and villains. You need a good mixture to make it work.
