My ideal role would be the lead in a film with a director that I really appreciate and admire.

I'm in a position where - I mean, not a lot of people are in a very fortunate position - where I kind of have the power to choose what I want to do in a way.

As you get older, there are different types of roles in people's lives at certain ages.

I just don't want to repeat the same thing over and over again, so I'm always looking for something that's going to be challenging and make me nervous every time I start a project.

When I was five I thought auditions were a great way to get out of school!

I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.

Some people don't have an open mind, and when I was traveling to different places I think I found it hard to enjoy things. You know, I come from a great city where there are lots of things happening, and if you end up in a small town where you don't have all those things you can feel the difference. Somewhere along the way, though, I think I learned to appreciate the difference.
