My parents were of the opinion, because they had started skating very young, that you should have something that you do that you care about, because it structures your life as you're growing up.

One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.

I prefer when movies target my heart instead of my mind.

I don't hang out at trendy Hollywood bars.

I don't feel any connection to Russia.

I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can.

I want things to be characters and not me. Why would I want to play me?
