I love doing serious movies for adults.
It is odd there are many movies with many men. But generally movies have one woman, or maybe the older woman and the younger girl.
As a creative person, you need to sort of spread your wings and try different things out because each one really does inform the other.
My tendency as an actor is, when there’s a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.
I’m a huge Wong Kar-Wai fan.
I’m a sensualist. My two main indulgences are dark chocolate and massages.
I’ve joked that I would have either become schizophrenic or an actress, but as an actress you can do both.
My father and my mother separated when I was two.
I can pretty much take care of myself; I don’t walk around with much fear.
I have a very strong work ethic, and I’m very grateful for that. But I think there was a moment when I realized, “Oh, I can play a little as well.”
You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate; it was sort of like a strange thing.
Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.
I was the person who did academics until the middle of the day, then went on auditions. I think there was a moment later in my life where I was like, “What am I doing? Why am I so serious?” .
One of the most important things for an actor is to observe humanity.
I’ll always take an artistic endeavor over a career move.
I think you always have to go as an artist with instinct, I really do.
I think I’m always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it’s more successful than others.
I always feel like I want to work with people who raise my game, and I can do the same for them, and we can jump off the cliff together.
Personally, just as an actor, I love accents; they’re fun.
When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It’s black and white. It’s win or lose.
