Like most people - unless they're very practised at it or have no warm blood at all in their veins - I feel a little apprehensive about the red carpet. It's always a bit bewildering when people are taking pictures and asking questions before the ceremony.

I'm optimistic about people and about the planet and about nature. I think it's resilient, like people are.

More often than not, the experience of shooting the movie has been disappointing and the end product has been a mere shadow of what I hoped it would be. But immersing myself in the story - that's what I like best of all.

I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.

Awards for arts, where you make comparisons, don't make much sense.

I don't speak up about something unless I feel strongly about it and until I've researched a subject extensively and have an informed decision about it.

I think that every person has many, many people inside of them. We change our personality depending on who we are talking to or what situation we are in.
