I feel lucky to be an actor because you always learn something from each part you play.

In real life, I don't fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

I like exploring both the light parts and the dark parts of a single person. And all of those shades tend to come out most acutely in stories about families.

Whatever I do, I hope it's quality, I hope it's something that's class.

Happiness is when you finally connect your mind to your body.

Acting means living, it's all I do.
