“As we mature and grow older we collect a lot of baggage, and a lot of that stuff you collect on life's journey gets in the way of acting. My kids can imagine a character and transform in the blink of an eye. It's so simple for kids, so complex for adults.”

“I have a sort of long-term plan to direct. I'm pragmatic about it. I realize I don't need to rush it or force it.”

“There's different ways of getting into character. There's what's called 'the outside,' in which is finding the physicality of the character first.

“We all have baggage. The question is: What baggage can you deal with?”

“Painful events leave scars, true, but it turns out they're largely erasable. Jill Bolte Taylor, the neuroanatomist who had a stroke that obliterated her memory, described the event as losing '37 years of emotional baggage.'”

“If you go into a relationship when you're 16, you've got no baggage.”
