If I'm gong out to a club I like to have fun with it. I'll use blue or red sparkly eyeliners and glittery eye shadows. Then I'll put on some blue mascara. I focus on the eyes.

In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.

I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.

I know it sounds earnest, but I do really feel in my bones that acting is just a small part of the equation when you are making a movie. The director really is in charge. Actors are as important or unimportant as the rest of the people around them.

I’ve really turned a corner recently in terms of not taking work too seriously, so it is much easier for me to not take my work home.

Actors can write and produce too. Then when I was working on Jason Bourne­ - having had that experience - instead of going back to my trailer and being separate from everyone else, I would sit behind the monitor and watch Paul Greengrass work and be much more included in the process. That was new for me and really enriching.
