I'd never done anything this far back in history. The earliest I've ever done was the 19th century. I actually did play a boy twice before. (history and historia)
I'll talk to myself out loud a lot. (unknown)
I'm doing things that are more artistic again, more close to the material that I love. I don't disparage those things that I did. They're just not as much reflective of who I am. (unknown)
I've wanted to work with Yun-Fat because I have been a great fan of his Hong Kong films. I'm very drawn to filmmakers from Asia, because I want to work over there. (work)
It was an early accolade that I greatly appreciated and did not expect. People may not have felt I was capable of doing characters that were not like the other characters I had played, had I not won the award. (character)
It was more of an experiment, walking into a different genre, rather than something that was close to me. (unknown)
Maybe there's a stage in people's careers where they stop going with the director's choice. I haven't reached that point yet. (career)
My father taught me how to substitute realities. (parents and parentin)
My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional. (colleges and univers)
My mother and father's upbringing made me very conscious of trying not to hurt other people. (parents and parentin)
My whole thing is characterization. I like playing separate people; it's never about one quality. (character)
Now that I've got some films under my belt, I have the courage of my convictions regarding acting. It gives me a leg to stand on. (movies)
Once you've found something you know how to do, it makes you feel you don't have to be intimidated by someone. (unknown)
Performing may not be the most effective means to help the world, but if it can make people open their eyes a little toward fundamental humanity, then I guess I'm affecting that. (unknown)
Recently, there's been more of a readiness to cast me without a fight, which is nice, although it means I have to be more selective now. (unknown)
Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like. (feeling)
The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first. (games)
The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective. (unknown)
There are all kinds of other things I could do, things I would probably like, but only acting would give me emotional fulfillment. (unknown)
There was something about being in front of audiences when I was in elementary school plays that gave me a thrill. It was like the rush you get from a roller coaster drop. (audiences)
We all struggle with our failure to communicate and our failure to reach beyond fear to love people. (failure)
