Sometimes as an actor you're struggling to make things work. That was never the case for me with [Big Little Lies script]. It just kind of flowed out.

I'm not drawn to stories that are just sort of fluffy. I'm just not, and I've tried to, and as a kid I was never drawn to them. I always chose complicated.

There's something to be said for going back to a simple form of living-nature and family. There's something very...there's safety in that.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

I think love is the core emotion. Without that, and I've certainly existed without that, it's a very empty life.

In my heart I'm independent, a bit of a rebel, a nonconformist.

I don't like changing with the wind; I like sticking to my own self.
