Chris Cooper is one of my favorite actors in the world. I've seen him in most everything he's done.

Everything we say signifies; everything counts, that we put out into the world. It impacts on kids, it impacts on the zeitgeist of the time.

People say, When you have children, everything changes. But maybe things are awakened that were already there.

Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.

The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.

All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene.
