Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.

I've never been driven by box office.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

You have to discipline yourself and not carry the character with you. You need to switch it off and take time to re-energize.

I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.

I think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.
