The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.

My interest lies in my self-expression -- what's inside of me -- not what I'm in.

I make a list of what I have in common, and what I don't have in common, with someone I'm playing

One thing I have is that I have never been afraid to expose myself in a way, and I really think I got that from my mother. That's a great gift you can give to a child, that they have confidence in their abilities.

A lot of films need planning in order to survive at all. It's part of the dog and pony show

It's great to watch someone get the most out of what they can do, whether they're a beautiful performer or just a really gritty performer. It's something to behold.

In my first film, Five Corners, I played a very scary, violent crazed character, and it exposed me to a lot of directors.
