Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.

I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, "Oh you take such risks", or "You're brave." And I'm like, 'Well, if you knew - inside I'm really frightened!' But the way people navigate fear and pain is fascinating... The more you feel, the stronger the pain. And the more you engage in life, the more you have to lose.

I think having my life be as private and quiet as possible is a way in which then I can go and play characters.

LIfe has got all those twists and turns. You've got to hold on tight and off you go.

As a child, my whole life was books. They were my fantasy. That's where I could go. That was a lot of times [what] saved me.

No matter how much you're going to be criticized or no matter how big of a risk it is, the boldness is the thing that helps you

I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.
