If you have a screaming angry director, everyone else will be panicked as well.

Every time you start a project, you're hopeful that the critics receive it warmly.

Actors are inherently self-centered. We're trained to focus on who I am. What do I want? Who is in my way? How do I get this? That's how we're trained. Unfortunately, that sometimes spills over into real life. But it's all very subjective. You just try to portray someone beyond the surface, the different layers.

There's this notion that in order to draw attention and to be considered for roles I want to be considered for, you need a certain amount of notoriety.

We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.

It's up to the actor to make sure they don't get typecast.

At my age, I don't think anyone is untouched by cancer.
