Acting is what happens on the way.

The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.

I have a hard time getting motivated to do something that seems like a career move. I've gotten into vague trouble with my agents for turning down work that I thought was exploitative.

[My choice about scripts] is just a question of what I fall in love with. You have to use some kind of instinct meter about it. I think I'm getting closer to my instincts now. I don't think there needs to be a plan. I think there needs to be love. I think you need to love what you're doing and then the rest is anybody's guess.

It's the relationships between people that are more important than the sort of far away fantasies of what the good life is, the world of supermodels and Bud ads.

Once you've found something you know how to do, it makes you feel you don't have to be intimidated by someone.

Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like.
