Your confidence grows as you get older, particularly when you're in a loving relationship. Everything strengthens.

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.

It's the warmest, loveliest community I've ever set foot in. For me, it's the perfect place to live. It's the best part of America.

I'm very much an admirer of people who are reaching for things and trying to survive.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

Whatever you do in life, don't give up on your own dreams.

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