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.

I've been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don't understand what the hell is going on. I've no desire at all to go back there.

I do get stopped on the street, although rarely. And they always have something lovely to say.

The most amazing thing is when you find yourself watching someone in the café or something doing something weird. It's amazing what people do, isn't it, when you just look at them, when you take the time to look.

I find it weird that people want to know about you.

I think that sometimes in theater, I don't prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals.

I can be shy, but I’m not really. I try to be better at overcoming these things people have said.
