Compassion takes imagination.

I'm always shocked that gay marriage is such a big deal. You have to realize how precious human life is, when there are tsunamis and mudslides, when there are armies and terrorists - at any moment, you could be gone, and potentially in the most brutal fashion.

For me, running is about freedom. I find that the freer I feel, the faster I am.

I don't usually see what I've done. I don't often watch the film or watch the show. It's really about that experience on-set and within the scene. Because later, when the film comes out or the show comes out it's the editor's realm or the director's realm. But that moment on set, that's that electricity between me and another actor, and that's really what excites me.

The love scenes that worked, regardless of the director, were the ones where the actors weren't fearful. When somebody was fearful, you could see it right away. It takes you out of the story, and that's to be avoided at all costs.

My role models are Bettie Page and Mia Kirshner. Every day when Mia comes to work she raises the bar for us all.

I think for me, when I'm looking at a script I really try to consider what experience am I embarking upon, because for me it's really about the experience.
