It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.

I think that the idea of family is a very powerful and influential and disjointed thing that will always captivate me.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

Acting is something that I've done since I was so young. I always felt - certainly as a teenager - really cynical about acting. I definitely didn't feel like it was something I wanted to do, and so I really took it for granted.

Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.

I want my world to get bigger and not end up in a small corner.

I'm a control freak and I like to be overprepared, and I'm overly organized and I'm not in the moment a lot of the time.
