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.

The reality of one night, let alone that of a whole lifetime, can never be the whole truth.

I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn't notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection.

I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on me.

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

Whatever you do in life, don't give up on your own dreams.

I was fair-skinned in a country that's about the outdoors.
