“To go to work every day for two years, that was life changing.”

I just look for characters that have dimensions. If I don’t see it written on the page, then I try to put it in there somehow. You don’t want to play the same role twice.

You don’t really have to dress a ton of actors. You don’t really have to spend a bunch of money lining up extras to look the time period.

I think it was four years ago when my feelings were changing towards the industry.

I’m not oblivious to that connotation of changing careers, so I’m just going in and doing the job.

Words are changing. I find that old expressions are outdated, so when I write something, I try to find a new expression that hasn’t been born yet. It’s difficult.

What would it mean to live in a city whose people were changing each other’s despair into hope?– You yourself must change it.

What we see, we see and seeing is changing

As for super-stardom, I can say that I’m ready for anything. I feel like I’ve mastered so many stages in my life and the cool thing is, I don’t see that energy changing anything.

Language is power… Language can be used as a means of changing reality.

It’s interesting, winning an Academy Award as a young man… life-changing, but I’m just me within that.
