Refuse to let your circumstances make you bitter. Do what you must to make them better.

I think you put art out into the world, and sometimes it's divisive, sometimes it's embraced. Sometimes people cry, laugh or have complicated reactions.

I'm interested in storytelling. I love being an artist now and connecting through art.

The thing I'm not good with is mediocrity, when someone isn't really trying to reach something.

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'm drawn to the psychology of really interesting, flawed people.

I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on me.
