I want to be challenged. Every job I've done so far, every character has been completely different and that's really important to me because I don't want to fall into a stereotypical box.

For me, the key is always trying to find the connection between the audience and the character I'm playing. That's important to me, in any work I do.

I'm a big believer in playing truth and not doing things for effect. It's not about whether you look pretty or glamorous. It's about whether people connect.

Share your strengths, not your weaknesses.

All fruitfulness flows from intimacy.

Their friendship was more important than any relationship. Guys would come and go; girlfriends were forever.

Those we love can but walk down to the pier with us - the voyage we must make alone.
