"I know it's a film and all of that, and it's a Hollywood film, but it kind of feels like this sometimes, when you're in pain and it hurts, and you're desperate. Or you are about to cross some moral line and it's so seductive and you just do... and all that."

Publicity

Acting
"I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point."
