That's one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.

It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.

You've got to take care of yourself on the path, not just when you cross the goal line, because don't forget, wherever you are, that's the goal line.

So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.

Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.

The wonderful thing about acting is that you can use all of your talents and interests in your work.

When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes. "Mom, I'm too young to dance," I told her. She kind of forced me, but I ended up loving it, and after the first lesson I came back and said, "Come on, Mom, I'll show you the box step." That introduced me not just to dancing but also to working with someone without having a goal.
