Your one certainty in life, your power as a human being, is that you have a choice in every situation about what you do next and about how you take what has happened to you.

The thing I love about acting is that you can bring something very personal into the open and at the same time remain hidden because you're always playing a character in a story that someone else has imagined. You're always protected.

The thing about acting is that it's fairly random. At the end of the day you take what drifts past you or what's given to you.

For me, it's important to keep a level of anonymity.

I am a typical Libran. I tend to see two sides of everything.

Dustin Hoffman takes such pleasure in what he does and there's nothing tense about him. He exudes joy and passion for what he's doing and that infects everyone. It certainly put me at ease coming to work with him every day. I felt his confidence and freedom rubbed off. He doesn't censor himself or stop an idea because he thinks it might be wrong.

It's fun to pretend you're good at something you know you wouldn't be good at in real life.
