Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

Happiness, that's obviously different for everybody, but what I call my joy, the thing that makes me feel incredibly satiated, is my family, and then I get to go and play out all of my ideas and feelings through all these different characters.

I want to be with people I really like. I don't want to be working on things with people that I'm not happy to be there [with].

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

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 only knew - inside I'm really frightened!'

To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised - they don’t see you behind closed doors.

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