Beauty is more than skin deep.

In the story, I think as an actor you're just trying to fit into the world.

I think more than anything, people just want to be understood.

The fabric of my life is under my skin; [but] it's definitely not something that comes up in a conscious way when I read material. I have an incredible relationship with my mom, so I'm fascinated by mothers who do not have that. But I've never done anything that resembled my life. People always jump to that conclusion, and I wish life were that simple, but it's not.

I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing, and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.

When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.

I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.
