It's a whole other way of working when you work in films: You know exactly the arc of your character.

Our perception of celebrities in Hollywood is not the reality. The reality of our lives is so much like everyone else's life. We have family members we love, everyone gets up in the morning, they have three meals a day and they go about their business.

You know, your career is just your career; your life is your life!

A great screenplay is the most powerful bait in Hollywood.

I listened to that voice inside me-... Everyone has an inner voice; you just have to listen to it and trust it in order to be led by it. I did that, and it gave me the ability to live a life that's true to who I am and what I really wanted.

I've always been a people-watcher, and as an actor, later, I just mined all those little details.

But you finally think, there is what there is, and you have to work within those confines and just keep chipping away at your own work.
