| 1 | There's just such a premium on hurrying, and the camera is the be all and end all, and the actors had better hurry up and get it right and get it done. |
| 2 | I take the fact that films cost a lot of money very seriously, but once in a while to have somebody say, This is a big scene, take your time with it, is important. That's John Sayles. |
| 3 | I was this person with this weird last name from New York that no one had ever heard of. But my screen test I guess, according to him, was the best. So I got the part, which was incredible. |
| 4 | I'd already made the decision before I'd even read it-just because it was John Sayles. Then when I read it, the themes were actually themes that have been a big part of my life. |
| 5 | It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So I really didn't think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star. |
| 6 | There's a certain arrogance to an actor who will look at a script and feel like, because the words are simple, maybe they can paraphrase it and make it better. |
| 7 | Anything to do with the South resonates with me, because I'm Southern. |
| 8 | I helped found Artists for New South Africa, but it used to be called Artists for Free South Africa. Alfre Woodard and a bunch of us started this. |
| 9 | I think that we need to look hard at our beliefs and be responsible about how we speak out. |
| 10 | It's usually, my people speak to your people and then they speak around each other and trade calls for weeks. |
| 11 | I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from. |
| 12 | And, oh my God, I loved doing What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). Who wouldn't love kissing Johnny Depp all day? |
