I want to be in a good movie, and so the narrative is way more important.

Actors - we're selfish, but we can't think about the work in that kind of selfish manner. I think that you have to step away from yourself, if you're going to do it. Otherwise don't do it; otherwise why do it?

Other than vaccines and finding a cure, most funding goes toward putting people on treatment. That's completely valid and I understand that, but it's never how we're going to stop AIDS.

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

I'm a true believer that everything happens the way it should.

That's why I like my job so much, because at the end of the day they're fruits of labor that you don't pick very easily. And I love that.

And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.
