I had this sort of idolatry for certain actors who preceded me, people who inspired me, so I'm honored to be that way for young actors.

One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you. All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.

What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.

Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.
