At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don't?

Shoes are strange things. If you take your shoes off in a situation in which you're vulnerable, you'll feel 10 times more vulnerable.

I broke things to get attention.

Acting is about people. Other people. Otherwise, you're not acting, you're doing monologues.

I would like to have children while I've still got the energy. But then I have the feeling that when I have children I'll stop performing in the same way, because you don't really need to perform if you have children.

I come from not just a household but a country where the finesse of language, well-balanced sentence, structure, syntax, these things are driven into us, and my parents, bless them, are great custodians of the English language.
