I'm not really one of those people who goes and writes some big back story and agonizes over characters. I think you kind of can get it. For me personally, it's just kind of more instinctive. But I don't have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

It's interesting when you go out into the world and see which of your roles have affected people.

I never started out trying to be an actor. That was not my passion, this was not my thing.

Hollywood is all about making an entrance. I don't want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself.

I live a very international life, but when I come back to Hollywood, a town I love in a lot of ways, I have to wonder, "What decade are you in? Like, seriously, what decade? It's not this one."

I have great luck. I'm used to people dying and going away. Not used to it exactly - but I expect it. Like, whenever people go off on a trip, I save their phone messages because I think they might die.
