You don't sacrifice your individuality; you sacrifice a lot of freedom.

I spent my entire time reading books and going to the cinema, just to escape.

I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.

Movie actors earn their living and learn their craft through listening and reacting.

The standing ovation threw me. ... To be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.

I learn the whole time. I think it would be dull if I thought I was going to work and wouldn't find something new. We always learn.

I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
