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!'

I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.

I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that.

I like bold directors. I like directors that go against the norm in a way.
