It's really important for actors to feel that they're more than something for hire.

Actors are part of a certain percentage of people on this planet who have an emotional vocabulary as a primary experience. It's as if their life is experienced emotionally and then that is translated intellectually or conceptually into the performance.

We never know all the facts and the more we're mindful of how we deal with people, the more opportunity we have to evolve.

I love to work. I love to have complexity.

For me, as an actress, one of the most essential things that I need to know is what do I want for and from the people around me in the story.

I think that in a general sense, the idea of getting comfortable with the truth in life is uncomfortable.

It is really wonderful for me to understand that there are times in life when your job, and the excellence of your job, requires to not be - have the comfort zone of being popular.
