You have to surrender less when you see a film than when you go and see something live.

I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it; they just look different.

If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.

I'm not a big believer in linear paths. I would always have these sort of five-year plans and think, 'Ok, I wouldn't mind to try to get here in five years.'

It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.

I certainly think that when I flick through all the magazines at the hairdresser's I like to see and am drawn to images that have an intelligence and mind at work behind them.

I think good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people.
