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

Eventually, if you're the train that's leaving the station, people will race to catch up with you. I think that's one of the things I've figured out. You can't wait for permission to act, you just do; then people are like, "Oh, look at that person just doing over there. Maybe I'll come join them."

The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.

We put limitations on the way that we think about things, on ourselves, think about all the boxes we live in, male or female, you're this age, that age, this is your job, this is not your job, everything is about getting boxed in. I think we accept a lot of those boxes, that labeling, and the way that we perceive the world, but what even is perception? It all seems pretty flexible to me.

I didn't understand how you could be an actor if you didn't also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.

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

Living in Cuba made me unafraid of whatever could happen to me.
