“There is no best anything in art. Phillip [Hoffman] isn't better than Heath [Ledger]; Joaquin [Phoenix] isn't better than David [Strathairn] or Terence [Howard]. They aren't better than me. We all do different things. It's more of a celebration of a lot of great work than to give the gold to somebody. The underappreciated factor certainly has gone away.” GivingArtDifferentGoneGoldFactorsDifferent ThingsCelebrationGreat WorkPhoenixGone Away Author:Jeff Daniels

And she trusts that.” DoeTwoDifferentMomentsActorsInstinctBrilliantImpulseFortunateRiding Author:Jeff Daniels
