I was quite a shy child – not chronically, but I tended to blend into the background.

I don't think anyone can walk through the world in a state of vulnerability all the time, can they?

I don't think I am especially interested in celebrities, but I love talking about what is going on with people and why they do what they do.

I think the sensation of being moved by a piece of art is something that is really good for a person's soul.

What I notice about people who are gifted in filmmaking is that they're great thinkers. They engage with big ideas and they engage with people.

I love the characters I've had the opportunity to play.

I love films. I love music. I love poetry and stories. All of that I feel… I sort of get very excited and fed by.
