I don't want to be an English actor doing the greatest American accent you've ever heard. I want to be an American doing nothing.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.

The first thing I'll do if I want to look really crappy is, I don't wear any makeup at all.

You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.

I never look back at all. All of my sentiment and emotion goes into my family. I'm an extremely family oriented person and I have a very, very happy family life. That doesn't just include blood relations. I have friends who are close to me.

God willing, even I might scrape a nomination.
