It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.

You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.

You know, you're not aware of it, but you're following the action of the film through the body of the protagonist, you know? You feel what he feels when he jumps, when he leaps, when he wins, when he loses. And I think I just took it for granted that, you know, we can all do that, but it became obvious to me that men don't live through the female characters.

There are some days when I, myself, think I'm overrated... but not today.

You're perfectly balanced because then you effervesce seemingly effortlessly. And it's a thing a person can't manufacture. You either have that or you don't. You have charm or you don't.

Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art.

I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities.
