To me, it's all about inspiration. What gets me creatively excited is a challenge.

I'm always looking for something that's real and that's got meat on it. I think it's artistic suicide if you're too vain, or if you're afraid to play ugly. I would never fall for that.

In movies we tend make things black and white: you're either this, or you're that.

I'm constantly embarrassed at the level of attention actors get and the level of money that we get. It's completely disproportionate.

I worked with Lady Gaga for a day on a video shoot. It was crazy; we had a lot of fun. I had a great time.

Personally I don't believe in bad people. I think there's always a reason for people acting badly.

I needed to be myself and find my own identity.
