“Im so happy about because last year I was away from home all the time. I loved being on the road and having the opportunity to travel all over. But Im happy to be able to be home and asleep in my bed after a day of work. Usually when you work, you make homes everywhere. Ive made homes in Chicago, London, Africa...When I was in Los Angeles shooting Inception, I rented a beautiful house. It was home for a while, but I was aware it wasn't mine. It might actually be a challenge to get into a character while being in my own place.”
