I love characters that are very layered and complex. It's more exciting and different than any simple role- plus, I love a good challenge.

It is the ordinariness of us that is the same in all of us.

A lot of our young people are sleep-walking, dreaming that they're awake, and lots of aspects of society initially go about keeping it so.

So many young people feel powerless. We live in a world where it feels like it's so big and yet so small, and that your contribution really doesn't matter.

I grew up a middle class, colonized child of teachers, and librarians and people, women especially, who treasured education.

We all have a dark side. Most of us go through life avoiding direct confrontation with that aspect of ourselves, which I call the shadow self. Theres a reason why. It carries a great deal of energy.

Pretend and real are all real to a psychopath.
