You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.

When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, "Congratulations, you have an actor!"

I find that’s one of the great things about acting-you have the opportunity to stand in somebody else’s shoes. Each character faces a dilemma in her life, and as an actor you’re able to step into that character’s skin, look through her eyes. You leave transformed, a different person, because once you live a little bit of someone’s life, it changes you.

You try to get rid of the things that are weighing you down.

I think when you're reaching outside of something you're comfortable doing, you're just heading towards a light. I don't think you stop to justify it.

I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

The bad thing about being with an actor is that the role he's in stays with him all the time. The good thing about being with an actor - well, I can't think of any good thing.
