I'm definitely not very insecure, but I have perfectionist tendencies, and I'll want things to be a certain way.

Where I'm like,"no, I won't have that piece of bread, I'll have the veg." There's a different approach mentally that you have when you're in a safe space. Our body awareness in the West is ridiculous.

You need to not be able to do anything else, to be in this business. If you have other options, in those unemployed moments, those other options will take precedent. From a directorial standpoint, I think it's really Freudian, the amount of trust I have in filmmakers because I have such a trusting relationship with my dad.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.

I'm sure there's a range, but I think everyone can pretend.

Social media is a performance like any other form of entertainment, and acknowledging that is important.

The Village did a lot for me, of course, because it was my first movie.
