I find that the monsters are usually the people that I have the most empathy for because they're the ones that are hurt the most. There's a reason why they're the monsters.

The most important thing in my life, and the thing I try to focus on, is to try not to live a life of cruelty. That means trying to make sure I look people in the eye when I meet them. Sometimes you jump in a taxi, or maybe you only have two minutes with someone, and you never see them again. I try to always look them in the eye and have a real experience of what it is to communicate with someone.

Okay, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I'm a very superstitious person. I'm walking onto the plane as we speak. I'm putting my hands on the outside of the plane and my feet are on the lip of the plane. I have to do it every time before I fly.

I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.

We need to reevaluate that women who ask for a pay raise or ask for a promotion - it's actually an okay thing.

I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.

Broadway has always been a dream of mine.
