The thing about death is that it's honest.
The only really conscious decision I made was to cast my net wide and if the work was good, to do it.
The good thing is that I'm always honest.
People can't really place me. They're not really sure who I am.
My experience is that's rare - that you have a script that is... what they call 'film-ready.'
If you have two parents who have to work, who want to work, you need to have someone to guide your child.
I'm sure my father had more to do with my career than I would like to give him credit for. I would love to think it was all me!
I'm profoundly lucky. I really like it. I really like my work. I've liked it since I was 5 years old.
I'm noise-sensitive. It's always better for me if things are quiet, so I can concentrate.
I love to work in all sorts of different situations.
I just want to say, 'Go work! It doesn't matter what it is. Work begets work. Just go!'
I just have to concentrate on doing what I do.
I have an instinct to want to be part of a group of people. I feel safe there. That's why I was in school for so long.
We're living in a time when everyone is so certain ... to me, it's OK not to have the answers. The argument of the movie is, 'Is it possible?' And I did a lot of reading about these things and I don't know the answer. What do you do with objects moving in rooms? People speaking languages that they don't know? Animals appearing out of nowhere?
