person

An impatient person plays differently than a more patient person.

You don't have to be a scared person. I've had so many tragedies. I've managed to withstand things that you may think you cannot tolerate. But I have the strength.

I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.

Liz Benedict, a teacher of mine at Iowa, is the person who introduced me to James Salter's work.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help.

A teacher is a person who never says anything once.

What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self.

A good teacher is a determined person.

It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.

By nature, I am a low-key person and like being behind the camera.

I don't see myself as a famous person.

The image we have of a famous person often bears no relation to them.

I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public; it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.

When you're in a relationship with a very famous person, you have to make compromises.

There's a tendency, when the offspring of a famous person does something notable, to define them by their more-famous parent.

I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.

In terms of being a famous person, it hasn't changed anything. It's not important for me.
