I remember being in high school and my mother would say, "What about such-and-such boy?" I'm like, "Oh mom, he's too nice," we don't like the nice boys when we're 16. I'd say, "He's not attractive," and she'd say "All young people are attractive." And they are, and I get that.

I know that every actor that I know, when Daniel Day-Lewis does a film, and he doesn't work that often, but we run to the theater to see what he's up to, and with such delicious excitement. The same goes for Meryl Streep.

I think actors always have that fear of unemployment so when the opportunities are there, you just jump on them.

For me, there are a lot of things you can imagine as an actor, and then there are things that you know in your bones and in your cells once they happen to you.

We have our whole lives to try and get a glimpse of what that could be, in our own life. It's so exciting.

And I think a lot of us have fantasies of going back to where we're from, or when we do go back we're so nostalgic about it.

I grew up in the suburbs.
