It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

And I just want to work with good directors and good people.

Being at the mercy of the acting profession, in the early days of one's career, is really brutal and feels like you have no control over your life, at all.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

I realise few people get to live the life they always wanted, but I'm so neurotic, I don't really think about it. I'm too busy thinking, 'I hope I don't screw up my next scene.

I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year

They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.
