I still have anonymity, which is great. I can go out anywhere I want and no one ever recognizes me.

I believe in luck and fate and I believe in karma, that the energy you put out in the world comes back to meet you.

It's not always the case that things will fall into your lap or that life will be great, but it's all about perspective and having a positive outlook. If something goes wrong you say: "That happened for a reason, what can I learn from that and how can I grow?"

I grew up in a house where my father went on auditions, and he got some and he lost some, and there were good years and lean years. I didn't expect anything from the business, and that's often a danger in Hollywood, the notion that if you're pretty and have white teeth and just show up for the game then you'll win.

Theater will always be a huge part of my life. The high I get from doing theater is not, quite honestly, matched by many things. I like the fact that when you step out on the stage, for that given night, for better or for worse, you are the master of the boards. I love it to death.

Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.
