Any time you play a character for a long period of time, regardless of how close it is to you, it infiltrates your life. It's impossible for it not to.

Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.

I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.

I think it's my nature to - every time I hear about an award or a nomination, it makes me realize how much I must've been losing before, because I was not aware that every major city had these critics' awards.

A lot of times the character's experience is not in accordance with the tone of the movie and it's not really my job to account for the tone of the movie. That's the director's job.

I give credence to the worst things somebody writes about me, and if somebody writes something nice, I think they're wrong or false or lying or joking.

I felt self-conscious going out in the street prior to ever even being in a movie. That's just me.
