I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.

I always look for contradiction in a character.

I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.

I'm not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don't really seek it out either.

It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.

I daydream about things I want to happen, but none of it is more complicated, most of the time, than just really hoping that the good parts and the well-written parts are the ones that turn up on my doorstep.

There's always going to be a separate version of you that people will create, and you have no control over it.
