I'd rather work to live than live to work.

I was really good at saying no. I decided I was just going to say yes to any opportunity that came, no matter how crazy. And it changed my life.

I enjoy living life and I enjoy going to different restaurants and eating my way through a country and going to different museums and learning about different cultures.

As an actor, you travel so much. It isn't great for a marriage.

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think it exists.

I am... stubborn, and I admit it, so it's OK.

I was never raised to think that I was pretty. It's not that I was raised to think I was unattractive, but it was just never something that was pointed out to me by my family. They would point out personality traits — 'our daughter is really quirky' — versus what I look like, because inevitably, looks go, so it makes no difference.
