I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.

I'm against cronyism, and I had to learn that early on. Like, I don't have an entourage, because I saw the negative effects of those things.

I would never want to vilify somebody who considered abortion murder. I was an illegitimate child myself. I may not have existed today.

I assume most of the characters I play are exactly like me.

As an actor, I want to give in to the collaboration with the director because I don't want my work to be all the same. The more this can be done with comfort, the more variety my work has had.

When you use a dialect, you worry that the people you're imitating will think you're making fun of them.
