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

When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.

I've always done roles that really appealed to me on a gut level and which I found inspiring.

I hope my talent has something to do with it. I just think this business is so crazy. I obviously do the best I can, and the directors I admire see something in me. But this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. So that's why I say I'm lucky. I don't feel that I'm not talented - I think I am talented - but I also think I'm very lucky.

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.

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