I feel really lucky that, in my career, I've gotten a chance to explore a lot of different genres and kinds of films.

You know it's right when you feel this undeniable connection and chemistry.

I don't care how stylish something is if it doesn't flatter me.

It's much easier to cheat than it is to be loyal. Everyone goes through down times. You just don't put yourself in those situations, you know?

I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.

If I have a day off, I want to get on a plane and go to Paris! If I have a couple hours off work, I want to run to the market and make a four-course meal. I like to do things that are unexpected.
