But when you're in something together, it's very hard to be objective and you're very subjective.
After 14 years, it better be a real marriage, you know? We do have a great time together. We are really lucky.
I was always fraught with guilt, and it's such a waste of an emotion. It keeps you out of the moment of being where you are.
It's not that I don't see myself as hot and sexy. Don't get me wrong. No, it's not that.
I've always been able to let stuff go when I'm done with work.
I think it's important to do smaller films because I think that's where a lot of new things are happening.
I was very young when we got married and I don't know why it worked out like it did or how I was smart enough to know that this was the right guy, but somehow I got lucky.
I think it's important to do great work.
It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role.
When I connect to my soul, project it into another # character , and then bring it to the stage or to a film--that has always been for me the great joy of # acting . It's been as if my soul kind of leaps out of my body and is able to be free and dance around.
Ultimately, you know, I'm a grown-up, I've been in this business a long time. I've got kids. I've got to do my stuff. But I also need to keep it there so I can bring it up again the next day at work or whatever.
I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn't do them. And I don't want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.
I'm not going to be remotely funny.
I do it because I want to exercise people's compassion and I do it because I really believe that for some reason what I do is important and meaningful.
