I have a two-year-old who just turned three, and my four-year-old just turned five. I have the same irrational feelings taking them to pre-school. It's this charged combination of stress and joy and anxiety and excitement. When they're away, you've got a sudden loss of purpose and this ever-present fear about the kid's welfare. The departure of our children from our nest is not an easy thing.

It's terrifying to be the lead. There's a moment of excitement, and then pure terror.

I just wanted to make sure that yes, that those horror - they worked as a genre. To me, I just wanted to be touched by the film in the way that I saw plausible. Which is the story about compassion - giving and receiving it in those desperate times of need.

I can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.

Faith is important to me.

There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.

Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.
