I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.

My parents always told me that if you want something, you can do whatever you have to do to get it. As long as it's not against someone else.

The first thing, the main thing, about how I work is I need to understand the character.

As a teenager, I didn’t want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.

I AM VERY MOVED BY SURVIVORS. BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO OVERCOME A HANDICAP, A SITUATION, OR ANYTHING. VISITING THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF THOSE PEOPLE TEACHES ME A LOT ABOUT HUMANS AND HUMANITY.

I think the Earth and everything around it is connected - the sky and the planets and the stars and everything else we see as a mystery.

When you are abandoned by two parents as a baby - wow, that is something to live with.
