I see myself as a character actor, and I've always been drawn to playing characters that are different from myself because acting is escapism for me. I've never been that comfortable playing people that are like me.

I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.

People are always going to identify with what it's like living in society and have people judge you in certain ways, and how you can be strong enough to be your own person and all those good things.

I live right under the Hollywood sign, so that every day when I drive home I'm reminded of why I'm here.

I'm a restless person. I get bored very quickly, particularly with myself. I've used acting as an escape and a way to channel my nervous energy. So I've always looked to find a role that's as different from the one before it. I need change and variety or start to feel depressed.

I love costumes. I love getting dressed up because it really helps my imagination make the leap to believe that I am who I say I am.
