I struggle for what I believe in. Life is short, it's impossible to repeat something; you have to take advantage of things when you can reach them.

For me, they definitely made it more challenging. The comfort zone factor really kicked in between Leo and I, and I just think that's because we know each other so well. We've known each other since we were 20-years-old.

It's my chance to challenge myself to the fullest, which is one of the great joys about my job... I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best. It's more fun playing a character that requires you to look like dog s - t.

I would never accept a role that wasn't going to stretch me or challenge me in some way. I'd say Holy Smoke! probably did that more than anything I'd ever done. It took me to places I didn't actually know I could go to, and that's what I want my career to be all about.

There's more to life than cheek bones.

The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly, I don't desire to look like that.

When you're telling a story, I think you should tell it to its fullest, with reckless abandon, and absolutely let it be what it is.
