I've always been attracted to characters that were interesting to me, and different.

When I think about myself at 15, I can't relate to myself at all. I thought I knew everything.

People say that I'm always late, but that's a myth

Scratch a Russian, and you'll find a peasant.

I feel like movie stars don't have many friends at all. They have acquaintances.

Everybody needs to go to Mongolia just to see what it is to be a human being again.

What's interesting about the movie and characters is that they're one thing to the world and another thing in their heads.

I just want to make one really good movie a year. And when I die, to know I was honest as an artist.

A few pounds show a lot on my body. But it's okay. I believe women look good with a bit of softness to them.

I don't like everybody knowing what I'm doing, unless it's related to a movie. I don't like speaking to the press. I never did.

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

I like to make movies I like to watch.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
