(Acting) certainly comes-100 percent-from the need to be loved. Any actor who says this isn't true is lying.

I've never tried to reach a certain demographic of an audience or try to say: OK, now I'm going to do this type of film to transition myself into more adult roles. Or a romantic hero. Or whatever it may be.

It's a tough thing-you get in a situation where you feel you have to be perfect all the time and it sucks.

I am not a scientist, but I don't need to be.

Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I'm alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person.

I have no problem playing anyone who has different politics than me. In fact, I don't take that into consideration at all. You have to find something sympathetic in a man. It's that common ground you need to connect with someone.
