But I Think Also You

I Enjoy Working With Writers And Their Scripts. It's Very Exciting To Me. Eventually I Would Like To Produce, Direct And Act Onstage, But It's Not A Heavy Pressure. When I Do It, I Want To Do It Well. I'm Just Educating Myself With Writers And Scripts, Because I Didn't Read A Lot Of Books When I Was Growing Up.

Do I Make Mistakes? Yeah.

I Also Realise Power Is Fleeting, It Doesn't Last Forever In This Career, So I Want To Make The Most Of It. I Want To Make The Kinds Of Pictures That Interest Me, It's As Simple As That. I've Never Done Work For Money Ever. If Your Choices Are Based On Grosses And The Film Doesn't Do Well, What Does That Mean? It Leaves You With Nothing.

We Knew From The Beginning The Level Of Commitment Needed. We Felt Honored To Work With Stanley Kubrick. We Were Going To Do What It Took To Do This Picture, Whatever Time, Because I Felt - And Nic [nicole Kidman] Did, Too - That This Was Going To Be A Really Special Time For Us. We Knew It Would Be Difficult. But I Would Have Absolutely Kicked Myself If I Hadn`t Done This.

When I First Started Out All The Attention Could Be A Bit Unnerving, Especially When People Stared. Now I Find The Best Thing Is To Just Relax. Being Recognized Is Just Something You Have To Get Used To.
