Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.

I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don't think you ever abandon any of them.

It's the desire to study the human condition, the desire for collaboration, to learn and absorb, and to lead a well-examined life.

You start out with big dreams and I mean, big dreams artistically. You want to work with the greatest living directors, make a great movie. I wanted to make a great love story, I wanted to make a great epic and then you realize that the truth of it is that it's so hard to make a great film. It's hard to get a great role. Those big expectations change to realism pretty quickly. But what's never changed is my desire to work with great directors and to find projects that push me out of my comfort zone and keep me alive. I still don't think I've done my best work

Vengeance is just a lazy form of grief.

If you enter the dark side of life, and come through it, you emerge with more strength and passion.
