You never know who's going to kill you until you meet them.

A self-help book can't really address a problem unless it's individualized. It's not going to talk about a globalized problem.

I was 16 and did a play at school. I was a rather good student... And then I did a play when I was 16 and completely lost all my concentration for academics.

I put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself. I felt like I shouldn't have to audition for anything and all that. And that energy did not serve me at all.

As an actress, you're living something through the duration of the play and its geography. I've always seen writing the same way. It's like somehow I'm moving through the terrain of the book as a performer.

When you become deeply involved with someone, their problems become yours, and vice versa. It's family.

There's no experience like on-the-job training.
