I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That's why I got into fostering and adopting animals out.

I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it's all make-believe but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.

Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

You don't want to be in a relationship with someone who's scared of you.

Is truth always positive? Of course. Once the truth comes out you know it's all right. We're scared that if the truth comes out that it's not all right. It's the other way around.

Positive healthy loving relationships in your twenties... I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is or they're avoiding commitment altogether.

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

Poetry is the language we speak in the most terrifying or ecstatic passages of our lives. But the very word poetry scares people. They think of their grade school teachers reciting 'Hiawatha' and they groan.

I want to have children but my friends scare me. One of my friends told me she was in labor for 36 hours. I don't even want to do anything that feels good for 36 hours.

It's fun to go to the movies and be scared.

I'm terrible at horror movies by the way. I get scared so easily.

I'm scared of scary movies.

I was terrified to do 'G.I. Joe.' I had no idea how to do one of those movies. I was kind of scared. You know if one of those doesn't work it's a huge hit on your career. People are like 'Well he couldn't make a $170 million movie work. I don't want him in my film.'

The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me but in a way that I like.

It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared but they're not going to get hurt.

I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared but I never was.
