Acting is doing, because everything you say or do is some kind of an action, some kind of a verb. You're always connected to the other person through some kind of action.
Acting is what happens on the way.
[My choice about scripts] is just a question of what I fall in love with. You have to use some kind of instinct meter about it. I think I'm getting closer to my instincts now. I don't think there needs to be a plan. I think there needs to be love. I think you need to love what you're doing and then the rest is anybody's guess.
My father taught me how to substitute realities.
I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.
I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.
I wanted to do something far from my intellectual and physical home, so I went to live in Beijing for eight months and took Mandarin Chinese.
I'll talk to myself out loud a lot.
My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional.
The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.
I'm doing things that are more artistic again, more close to the material that I love. I don't disparage those things that I did. They're just not as much reflective of who I am.
There are all kinds of other things I could do, things I would probably like, but only acting would give me emotional fulfillment.
Being is like pretending.
The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.
