Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

There's a place in me that can really relate to being the underdog.

During really difficult times in my life when I start questioning why I am struggling with something, I often turn to books to understand myself better.

I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen

I never put myself in that box of you're an Oscar winner so you can only do this or that. That's one award, one night, and it does not define my career or it does not define me as an artist. I never wanted to get put in that Oscar box because that's a lonely place to be.

I love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.

People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head.
