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

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!'

I kept looking for happiness, and then I realized: This is it. It's a moment, and it comes, and it goes, and it'll come back again. I yearn for things, but at the same time I'm just peaceful.

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

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.

I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.

You want to take some responsibility for you choices so that it sets the groundwork for that next generation of actresses.
