You can rest a lot in an hour or have a whole day and not do it properly. One way I get a quality recharge is to connect with nature. To experience something that's bigger than me.

We need art. We've been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival.

I haven't gotten stuck with something because I just keep going, and I keep doing different things.

If someone puts up $100 million on a movie, they're gonna be concerned about whether they'll get it back. So they're not gonna make a movie about three girls, you know?

When it's working, what acting is really about is getting into the essence of a moment in a creative, joyous way - through whatever frees you up.
