For me, after emotionally intense roles, I'd need to take a step back because then there's the promoting of the film which is another job in itself.

I try to define myself through my own choices rather than just accepting society's kind of you're that, you're that, let me put you in a box kind of thing.

To play Cleopatra on Broadway would just be incredible.

I try to put myself into whatever character I play.

The only valid starting point is to understand what we all share - we have to find what we can all agree on.

From the age of four, I loved ballet and tap. I was in the school band, the choir, and all my school plays.

I try not to define myself. Other people are going to do that for you anyway.
