That's the thing about acting - it does have the feeling of downhill skiing. When it's really all going right, you know your lines, you know what's important to your character, you pick the strongest reactions possible to elements in the story. But then you let it all go and you're in the moment and stuff happens. It surprises you and it's super strong; it's like you're living life in a slightly heightened way in the time between "action" and "cut."

I take the responsibility of choosing seriously because it becomes an indelible part of your body of work. Something has to sing to me.

I had started off, before I ever got an acting job, working at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions as a reader. I was always interested in that side of the camera.

I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.

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

I assume that if people get to know me, they'll like me. If they don't, it's not my problem.
