I thought playing an angel would be very good for my image.

If you're comfortable with yourself-which everyone can get to, to some extent-that's when you start getting into who is your real self.

I'm too direct and too unsparingly impatient.

I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.

Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.

I think in the end we all know that our best friend is ourselves. We are born alone and we die alone. That's the journey.

I would say the biggest risk I always take is going in front of a live audience. There's nothing more risky to do. You have to really leave yourself open to your own authenticity, and you find that out pretty quick.
