I think that Ionesco's greatest weapon is that he's able to make us laugh at the darkest corners of our souls.

Most films I've worked on have had large casts, but they've been wonderful people. I think the monkey in Pirates of the Caribbean is the most temperamental costar I've had. It would throw tantrums like you wouldn't believe.

I think, in our darkest moments, you have to find the humor, and you have to find the lightness.

I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.

I love someone who can make me laugh. And someone who's secure - I think that's sexy.

This is what happens when you are on the wrong side of 40. Young adults, who could be your children, are now working with you. I was playing their parents or mentor. I started to think: Oh, I am not part of that group any more.
