I Just Don't Plan Things.

Children Accept Their World As The World. I Grew Up Like Kids That I Went To School With. Their Parents Were Either Shrinks Or Actors.

I Loved Acting As A Kid Because I Was Kind Of Shy, So It Brought Me Out Of Myself. Acting For Kids Is Like Playing House, You Know? But Growing Up In Hollywood, It Just Made It Seem Possible. It Wasn't Like Some Idea Of Going To Hollywood; It Was In My Backyard. I Lived Two Blocks From Grauman's Chinese Theatre Growing Up. It Was What People Did. It's An Industry Town. So It Wasn't Some Far-off Fantasy, It Was Like "oh Yeah, When You Grow Up, You Do This Because That's What People Do Here."

One Of The Reasons That I Do A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Pictures Is Because I Learn A Lot When I'm Doing Them.

I Feel Like I Turned Down A Lot Of Things That I Wish I Hadn't. But You Never Know When You're Younger. I Don't Have Regrets About Certain Things I Turned Down. Those Films Would Have Required Things Of Me That Would Have Been Challenging, And They Ended Up Being Really Good Movies. But I Was Never A Careerist, I Never Thought In Those Terms. I'd Be Like, "oh, I'm Tired. I Don't Want To Work."

You Try To Find The Internal Life, But A Lot Of It Is Creating It Through Physical Behavior And Figuring Out The Voice When You Create As Much Of A Past As You Would In A Naturalistic Piece. But It's Fun, Because It's Like You're Learning Something, Learning Some Kind Of Physical Skill.
