When you become very ill – raise your head. You will definitely see the sunlight.
Families in real life don’t tend to resolve things neatly.
When I was a kid, I got really great advice from someone who is so important to me and someone who I respect so much, and they told me, ‘Don’t do too many endorsements. Don’t throw your name on things; think of your longevity.’
I make movies. I have a passion. Puppies and daisies don’t accomplish anything. That’s not me at all.
I’m a very research-, homework-oriented person.
But it’s all about confidence and allowing yourself to put your personality into it. I really am the worst singer on the planet; I make people cry and vomit when I sing.
I’m certainly not an uptight home owner.
Putting your name on something and having no idea how it came about if someone else did all the work – that’s not me.
I’m sure wine snobs look at me and think, how dare you.
I think chemistry is finding something you love about a person and then transfering it to an in love kind of thing.
I’d rather be a few pounds heavier and enjoy life than be worried all the time.
I never have been insecure, because I see what a waste it is. I know there is a solution to insecurity. I don’t tend to be thrown by problems that don’t have solutions. And insecurity has a wealth of alternatives.
When you’ve been locked up in a mental institution, people are going to ask questions. It was OK, because I didn’t have to act perfect all the time.
I’m such a workaholic. I’m always thinking about work.
I mean, I come from a hippie mentality where I just think to know someone, you need to look into their eyes. Eyes are so important. Until they start melon-balling eyes out, I won’t be able to get to know someone another way.
I just think everything is a learning experience and every moment that you have that actually feels good inside of your heart is an absolute blessing and a gift.
Oh, I would love to be a motivational speaker. I have pulled myself out of a million potholes, and I can see the potholes ahead of me. That doesn’t mean that I could always do that so perfectly for my own life. I totally fall in potholes.
The people I grew up around who I really liked were quick on the draw. It always just wowed me. And my mum would make weird funny comments. I can see in myself her self-deprecating, hippie humour. I can’t take myself too seriously.
Going back to Georgiana Drew and John Drew, and my great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, and it was such a sort of circus of odd, interesting people that loved acting.
Great dad. Yeah, he would ask me for money on birthdays and, you know, inappropriate times. And I just wrote him off like, ‘You’re not a father.’ I just learned you cannot emotionally invest in people who are not attainable.
