When I'm naked, I really like to do push-ups. No. I think I really tackle it like everything else. If you're going to commit yourself to playing something, you have to be able to understand it. If you can understand it, then you can do it and go balls out with it. But, I've never been in a position where I've been like, "This doesn't feel right." I wouldn't do it, if it was that. I like the shock value of it. I think that, if you use it correctly, it's pretty effective, as long as I'm lit really, really, really well.

I think substitution is a huge part of acting, but I don't personalise my work that much.

I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

I'm not a fan of justifying bad behavior or justifying why people are the way they are. I think that's a cop out. I don't have a lot of empathy for that.

I think we're at a time where people just want to join together and cause change. People don't want to live like this any more.

It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.
