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 have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

It's good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it.

My choices in films are spontaneous.

I'm willing to fly close to the flame.
