I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

I don't enjoy being told what to do, I'm not that kind of actor, I'm a thinking actor.

I was also told some years ago that I shouldn't 'waste my time' with female-centric films because the audience was not ready for it.

I seek out parts which are strong women. It's not the quantity of a role; it's the quality of a role.

Every character that I play, even if it's a homemaker, there is an inherent, innate strength in her - you can find strength in every facet of a female personality. It doesn't just come from the physical strength of a woman.

I don't want to be a stereotype; I want a character that's aspirational.

I'm not American, but I do have an opinion, and I think that right now, it is what it is, and I think the country needs to come together to say: What is the America we want to create right now? The same thing will happen on television now going forward if we do have a female president. It will be something that will be discussed.
