I feel that we live in an age where everyone's trying to reduce, and soundbite, and cut it down to140 characters, and that's not what life is.

It's fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair.

Perfect is very boring, and if you happen to have a different look, that's a celebration of human nature, I think. If we were all symmetrical and perfect, life would be very dull.

I was a daydreamer as a kid. I want to act because of whatever artistic bone is in my body. I want to explore what it is to be alive. I just want to make good sh-t.

I know I'm not a conventional beauty. You can read a lot of painful things on the Internet, which criticise you aesthetically - but as far as I'm concerned, that's not what an actress is.

I know people think that acting is not quite the occupation of grown-ups, but it is actually the ultimate learning process: You get a multitude of experiences, all for the price of one life.

I’ve always been a black sheep. That’s a hard thing to be until you find your calling in life. I was bullied a lot at school, probably because I was perceived to be different from everyone else.

I love going out of my comfort zone—I live to go out of my comfort zone. Obviously, you have quieter years than others—you don’t go jumping out of a plane every day.

Every role affects an actor a little bit. There's always a little chunk of a character that stays left over in your heart.

You can be a good human being and just be shrewd.

I feel like I've really earnt my stripes - I feel ready to play a lead. I would just love to prove I'm good enough to carry a project.

How much energy they put into harming each other. How little into saving.

Money cannot redeem time.

I smile all the time, even when I'm in a bad mood. I always try to keep a smile on my face.

Regardless of our age, experience, or station in life, we are all missionaries.

Stormy in love, stormy in interviews, breakfast in bed - that's me, love.

I played in a basketball league until I was 40 years old. I played every Monday night and the guys would say, "You take him out, and you'll see us afterwards."

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

We go hard or we go home we gon' do this all night long! #werk

It is better to suffer injustice than to do it.

I try and do 2,500 words a day, every day of the year
