I think I was born an artist. But the key is that I have a mom that encouraged and supported my artistic side. She still has the stick-figure drawings framed.

I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

I've always been fascinated with the idea of people paying for sex and what goes on with that and why that happens.

Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down. My brain and body can go into overdrive - yoga teaches me to focus on the moment and not get ahead of myself.

The only thing that gets me through any type of pain, emotional or physical, is to make it worthwhile by putting it into my work.

Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.

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.
