Well, I can wear heels now.

When you know psychologically what [characters] are feeling, then that plays out on how you dress a lot of times.

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

I think it's important for me as an actor that I say these are the issues I'm going to be committed to. One of them for me is women and children's health around the world and their rights;the other is ovarian cancer.

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

I do research. I do emotional sort of Method work. Somehow it’s a huge mishmash of things that becomes my own acting process and my own way of navigating through something. But ultimately the desire is to be honest, and for that truth to bleed through into your work and onto the screen.

If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career.
