I Have A Passion For My Work,

It's The Desire To Study The Human Condition, The Desire For Collaboration, To Learn And Absorb, And To Lead A Well-examined Life.

I Always Try To Push Through Fear. I Won't Be Crippled By It. People Say, "oh You Take Such Risks", Or "you're Brave." And I'm Like, 'well, If You Knew - Inside I'm Really Frightened!' But The Way People Navigate Fear And Pain Is Fascinating... The More You Feel, The Stronger The Pain. And The More You Engage In Life, The More You Have To Lose.

I Suppose The Underlying Current For Me Is The Idea Of Not Doing Something I've Done Before. I Call Myself A Character Actor And I'm Always Trying To Stay A Character Actor.

I'd Rather Walk A Tightrope Than Have My Feet On The Ground.

My Parents Thought It Was Nice To Develop My Imagination, But They Never Seriously Thought That Anything Would Ever Come Of It. They Said That I Couldn't Be An Actress Because I Would Be Taller Than All My Leading Men, So I Thought I Would Be A Writer Instead.
