I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I've never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman - she's really my only idol. It's going to be a big stretch - certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile.
If we become one of those societies that attack success, why not come as certain there will be a lot less success? And that's not who we are.

Life exists in the universe only because the carbon atom possesses certain exceptional properties.
Credit-default swaps remedied the problem of open-ended risk for me. If I bought a credit-default swap, my downside was defined and certain, and the upside was many multiples of it.

Every dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement in terms of the intellect of a certain inner experience.
For instance, I have never believed that there is only one person for each person in the world. It doesn't make the least sense to me.

There were certain films where I went, 'Oh, my God, I'm doing a movie.'
We have been crafted by disaster to push out to the utmost horizon to find out what's on the other side of it. That's in our nature.
