I feel privileged that people are looking up to me and perhaps a dream will be born because of my presence.

What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion: for yourself and for those around you.

I would love to have a career that's governed by the material; I always want to be part of stories that I feel are worthwhile.

There's always a sense of newness with acting, because every role, you come to every role fresh.

I went to the Independent Spirit Awards and won.

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.

As actors, you become an expert at starting over.
