I pride myself on being fairly polite on a set so it's kind of a guilty pleasure to poke others on the set.

When I was a kid I was very interested in the idea of the will, finding out what you're capable of. I liked those kind of challenges.

I never act. I simply bring out the real animal that's in me.

Sometimes I think women are lucky because they can develop in ways men can't. The old-boy network may be oppressive to women, but it actually stunts men in terms of personal growth.

I want to work with people who are good at what they do, and people who are passionate.

I don't want people to know anything about me, because that's not important. I'm more interested in the me that takes shape through the characters.

I'm learning in my old age that the only thing you can do to keep your sanity is to stay in the moment.
