"It's very fashionable to talk about human trafficking in this fantastic AC hall. It's very nice for discussion, discourse, making films and everything. But it is not nice to bring them to our homes.

This, whatever form of faith it colors, is the essence of superstition.”
“First of all, I would shoot myself if I ever had to play straight-forward characters that really don't have much of a past. Maybe it's just that I'm not a good enough actor to have to embellish, but I like having these really, really rich roles to play.”
