When you act in a film, you're inevitably surrounded by people you didn't choose, right down to the set painter. I like being able to pick the family I'm waking up to in the morning that's going to make this group effort to tell a story that applies to what's interesting to me at that stage in my life.

Do you wake up as I do, having forgotten what it is that hurts or where, until you move? There is a second of consciousness that is clean again. A second that is you, without memory or experience, the animal warm and waking into a brand new world. There is the sun dissolving the dark, and light as clear as music, filling the room where you sleep and the other rooms behind your eyes.

Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day.

Men all do about the same thing when they wake up.

Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.

It's tough waking up in the morning and reading derogatory stories about you.
