I've been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be.

Love is a sudden revelation: a kiss is always a discovery

I think it's a real danger, as an actor, when you try to make some statement through your career about what the business should be doing or ultimately what your image should be or how you want to be perceived. I look at every project that comes along and say, "Is this something I can sink my teeth into and can do a good job on?" That's really how I choose roles.

It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.

I don't have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don't get sad and enormously happy. I think a lot of people who talk about all that crap are lying. Right now I'm just trying to maintain happiness — that's all I really care about. Anyway, when you're my age and your hormones are kicking in, there's not much besides sex that's on your mind.

Acting is the only time when I truly maintain the spontaneity that I want to be present at all times.
