I Wasn't Really Quite Sure Where Heath Ledger Came From, And I Think That's The Feeling Most People Got When They Were Around Him And Why He Was So Extraordinary.

Peter Sarsgaard, He's An Extraordinary Actor, And I Would Say That Peter Has Really Brought Into My Life And My Sister's Life A Sense Of Presence As An Actor That I Never Really Understood Or Knew About Until I Met Him.

I Would Be Making Different Choices. Because I Can't Somehow Subtract All Of The Experiences That I've Had In My Life. And It's Fascinating To See, Because Somewhere I'm Very Reflective In That. You Know, I've Been Playing Basically Actually Close To 40 Years Old, So I'm Somewhere Lost In Age In This Movie. But It's Been Fascinating To See That I Can't Subtract That Time.
