I don't think anyone is black and white and I think we change our minds and our attitudes about certain things as we grow to our maturity.

I want a body of work; I want a good story after a good story.

I think many people have contradictions to them and I love characters that deal with those contradictions.

There is a price to pay for most of our actions. For every action, there is a reaction.

Many times - especially when I'm playing an historical character - I want to be really on target with how I create that character and really nuanced with who that human being might be. But I don't want to lose the likeness of me or the depth of my own personality. So meditation and my spirituality has helped me to realize that, yes, I want to get out of the way but I also want the ability to hold on to what the audience likes of what they see of me.

I'm not too into fast food, but you know if I was, it would be chicken.

When I listen to my scene partners and listen to their breathing allows me to be connected to them in scenes. I am not trying to multi task, not trying to talk on the phone, but in my character.
