I just try and do the best with every role I get to do. Hopefully the experience in itself is a good experience and people will want to work with me.

Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful, even if it was just vicariously.

I think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it.

I was always much more shy. All I knew was that I loved to act. But I don't know about the other part of it. I'm not sure I had the chutzpah to go and prove yourself.

Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.

I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.

I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I'd think, tonight I'm going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance.
