I love Polaroids and I have a Polaroid camera collection from the '50s.

I like to investigate all different kinds of people, I guess, and find out what makes them who they are, and try to be honest in the portrayal, and truthful, and find out how to understand that person, how to communicate that person's experience.

It's very exciting to work with people who inspire you.

I loved acting as a kid because I was kind of shy, so it brought me out of myself.

People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant.

Even if the role is very far away from me, to try and make it as nakedly me as possible is an intriguing notion.

I just don't plan things. I live a month at a time.
