The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.

A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.

A couple of compromises in a row and suddenly you're very far way from the person you thought you were.

I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.

I think I am looking as an actor to find ways to push myself into places I haven't been before as a human being.

I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don't have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I'm blowing out candles gives me hives.

I think we're scared of intimacy - all of us, a little bit.
